An easy way to cool down on a warm afternoon (and enjoy views of Castle Hill and the Royal Palace) is to stroll along the Duna korz贸, the riverside promenade between Sz茅chenyi Chain and Elizabeth Bridges. Full of cafes, musicians and handicraft stalls by day, it leads into Pet艖fi t茅r, named after the poet of the 1848鈥49 War of Independence. M谩rcius 15 t茅r, which marks the date of the outbreak of the 1989 revolution, abuts it to the south.
