Szabadsa'g hid is another must-see for any architecture enthusiast visiting Budapest. What sets this majestic bridge apart from other bridges of Budapest is the historical significance of the bridge and the trials and tribulations it has endured since its conception to survive into the 21st century. At the festivities held for the thousand-year jubilee of Hungary, this historic bridge was inaugurated by Francis Joseph I, who had the honor of hammering in the last silver rivet on the bridge and after whom the bridge was originally called. This majestic bridge, the third to be built across the Danube, has a length of 333 meters and a width of 65 feet and stands out for its stunning green structural design, a majestic large bronze statue of Turul, a type of falcon from Hungarian folklore and the country's coat of arms adorned on its side. Blown up during World War II, it was reopened with its new name, Liberty Bridge, since it signified the liberation of Hungary. Visit the famous Fővám Square situated at the Pest end of the bridge, which is the largest roofed market in the Hungarian capital with the most diversified range of goods, from fresh vegetables to fruit, meat, and various spices. Walk over to the center of the bridge to take some memorable photos, walk down the bridge for a few minutes to reach the Buda end of the bridge. You get to Gellért Square at the foot of Gellért Hill, head for Hotel Gelle'rt famous for its thermal water, find the Cave Church with the statue of Stephen I, before it. At the top of Gellért Hill is the citadel, and the Liberty Statue, standing prominently over Budapest. Liberty bridge is the place to be if you have a penchant for bridges.
