The Szechenyi Chain Bridge, popularly called Chain Bridge, is a 1,230-foot suspension bridge crossing the Danube River. The bridge was designed by renowned English engineer William Tierney Clark and was opened in 1849; currently, it is one of the two surviving bridges designed by Clark.
Made from wrought iron and stone, the bridge was a modern engineering wonder during the time of its construction and became a symbol of advancement. Visitors from around the world visit the attraction annually; it's also the site of the Red Bull air races, during which flying under the bridge is a popular maneuver.
