Although the Romans built bridges across the Danube as far back as the 2nd century AD, Buda on the west bank and Pest on the east did not acquire one until the great Chain Bridge was constructed in the 1840s. William Tierney Clark designed and Adam Clark built the bridge, which at the time was considered a major engineering wonder of its time. Buda and Pest became a single city in 1872. Whether strolling around the shopping district of the city, which is now car free, or visiting the Budapest market, where you will find the fabled paprikas, or exploring the Castle Hill, you cannot fail to marvel at the unashamed ambition of past Hungarians of building a capital that would outshine Vienna.
