What to do on Budapest's Margaret Island? In this video we show you many interesting and fun things to do that adults and kids will enjoy!
Margaret Island is in the heart of Budapest, but despite this central location it is actually a pretty cool place to find some peace while also being active! In this video we explored the Island and listed what are the Best 14 Things to Do if you visit Margaret Island. Trust us, it's worth a visit!
You can easily spend a whole day on Margaret Island, it is one of the best places of Budapest if you look for a little bit of chill since you are surrounded by nature, have a ton of places to do Picnic, play ball or frisbee. But you also be very active here if you rent a buggy that you need to power with your legs, or go to the Palatinus Beach and take a nice swim (or just sunbathe right next to the pools).
It's a great place for Families, children will love the many playgrounds, the musical fountain or exploring the ruins of old buildings of Margaret Island. But if you come with friends to Budapest, then certainly the many bars of the island will give you the opportunity to grab a few drinks while enjoying the nice weather and have some good talks.
Oh, and did I mention there is also a Mini Zoo here that's the extension of the main Budapest City Zoo? Here there are Animals that required special care and are currently rehabilitating, so make sure to visit them and cheer for them so they get better soon!

We loved Margaret Island. You are right, the light show of the Music Fountain is really beautiful at night with the illuminating lights. We say down for awhile. We enjoyed exploring the old ruins. I have been to the Palatinus once in the 80s and once again in 2021. We went to a Caramel concert at Margitszigeti. It was amazing. Stay Fluffy! (Eric)

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Island. It is often overseen as just another park but there is just so much to do there :)

I was for 2 days there last November and I haven't seen many things. I want to go back and visit Budapest one more time, on a sunny day if a preference next time. 😊 maybe in March if the weather is not too cold?

Szia Ákos! I just stumbled upon your channel and your videos are so good. Budapest is much more than just ruin bars and thermal baths

Végre egy olyan személy készít minőségi videókat Budapestről, aki ott is él, és nem csak a “kötelező” helyeket tudja bemutatni! Lehetne valamikor videó a Normafáról is? 🙏

@StuffedCabbageAdventures Жыл бұрын

Köszönöm a kedves szavakat :) Tervben van természetesen Normafa, hiszen az is egy kincs amit sokan kihagynak amikor a várost látogatják pedig nagyon jó dolog hogy ilyen közel a belvároshoz van egy hely ahova el lehet menni kikapcsolni és túrázni egyet :)

How crazy does this island get during the summer music festival?

@StuffedCabbageAdventures 4 ай бұрын

Hey there! It doesn't, because the Music festival (Sziget Festival) is on a different island further north. There may be a bit more people on the island during this time but it doesn't get crazy or too crowded at all :)

Great video! We are there for a concert in August in the open air facility. I imagine it will be quite busy. Without a car, which transportation can we take from csalogany utca that will not be stuck in traffic 😅

I've been to Budapest many times, and I like Margaret Island, but what I find surprising is that I've hardly met any local Hungarian's. Most of the people I've met over there are other tourists, some Hungarian's have been friendly but most just go about their business, I guess they're just used to so many visitors.

@StuffedCabbageAdventures Жыл бұрын

I guess it depends on when you visit, during weekdays most people work and maybe if they live close they will go to the local bars and hang out in the evening. I think more locals visit on weekends and do picnic there. Many people also visit the Palatinus Beach :)

@dddaddy Жыл бұрын

Interesting you bring that up. I'm a local and haven't been in ages. I just went a few weeks ago and was stunned at how nice (and also popular it is). And I had the same impression about thd tourists, too. I guess it's a case of being too 'obvious' for most of us lol. Like I knew what it looked like and that it was nice, but haven't even crossed my mind to go there in literally decades. If I'm on holiday, I'm usually relaxing at home or out of town entirely. But I think I'll change my ways now.

@StuffedCabbageAdventures Жыл бұрын

Yeah, sometimes even as a local we miss out on things because - as you rightfully put it - being too obvious :) But time to time it's nice to remind ourselves about these places and enjoy them :)

Buggy ride price?

@StuffedCabbageAdventures Ай бұрын

From what I see on the website of one of the buggy ride rental places it costs 5.900 HUF (about 15 euros) for 30 mins and 7.900 HUF (around 20 euros) for 60 mins. Should be the same across the rest of the rental places there. Don't be suprised that they usually ask for an ID as a deposit until the buggy is returned.
