Best spots to watch the festive fireworks of 20 August

As you might know, the 20^th of August is a public holiday in Hungary, when we commemorate the foundation of the state by our first king, Saint Stephen. The highlight of the all-day festivities is probably the fireworks show at 9 pm. Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu collected the best spots to watch the spectacular show.

The main location of the fireworks show will be the Danube’s section in front of the Parliament, which lies between the Chain Bridge and Margaret Bridge. The show will start at 9 pm and last for around thirty minutes.

This means that the best spots to watch the fireworks will be the Id. Antall József Quay on the Pest side and the Bem Quay on the Buda side. Basically, if you manage to find a spot between the two bridges, the ultimate fireworks experience is guaranteed.

Moreover, the fireworks will be absolutely stunning from the Fisherman’s Bastion, the Buda Castle’s Danube side, the funicular’s squares and walks, and essentially every spot, from where you can see the Parliament. The Chain Bridge will be closed off, but the Margaret Bridge will offer a great view of the show.
