Some cultural events in Budapest 14-23 June
Bridge Festival 18 June
An annual event that takes place on the Lánchid, Budapest's first permanent span across the Danube (built between 1842-1849). Despite the protestations of drivers, the bridge is closed to traffic for the whole day, thus becoming the main vantage point for a spectacular show that also takes place along the Danube embankment and on the river below.
