Belvárosi híd

The Belvárosi Bridge spans 678.2 meters across the Tisza River, connecting the main district of Szeged with the Újszeged area through two vehicle lanes and pedestrian paths.

Architects Gustave Eiffel and János Feketeházy designed the bridge in 1880, but German forces destroyed it in 1944, leading to its reconstruction between 1946 and 1948.

The Hídivásár market festival takes place each May at the bridge, bringing together residents and merchants for a traditional Hungarian celebration.

Visitors can access the bridge using public transportation, with bus lines 1 and 2 stopping directly at Belvárosi Híd station on both sides of the river.

From 1909 until 1979, Tram line 5 crossed the bridge, marking an era of public transit before trolleybus lines replaced the rail system.
