You'll cross the city's oldest bridge, which was destroyed during World War II, later reconstructed, and recently underwent a complete renovation. Riding across the Chain Bridge is an essential part of the experience—and since private cars are no longer allowed on the bridge, it's a true delight for cyclists. Long live the bicycle!
