Über diesen Tip
The rubberised track around Margaret Island is about 5.3 km, flat, open all year and free of road crossings, so one loop is an easy 30 to 35 minutes. It is a favourite with local runners, and you can link it to the Danube embankments by crossing the bridges for a longer route. Take tram 4 or 6 to the Margitsziget stop and run early in the day, when the paths are quietest.
