My next adventure: Cluj-Napoca/Turda/Bran (Romania) – April 2025

Day 11.5 (Hungary) – Budapest by Night

The city of Budapest is magical by day but what happens after dark is even more majestic. Before heading out, one devised a simple route crossing one of the many bridges, rolling alongside the Danube River until we hit the Houses of Parliament and then back to the hotel, simple right?

All seemed well as we crossed The Danube catching glimpses of places of interest lit up…

What one was unaware was that the footpath on the other side was undergoing refurbishment work. Of course, we thought that only a short section was closed hence we followed the diversionary route. This subsequently took us back onto the main road. Rolling around Budapest as a wheelchair user, it is worth noting that, the further one ventures outside the centre, the less accessible it becomes in terms of drop curbs. Unfortunately, said diversion lasted a large portion of the way to the Houses of Parliament meaning that Superbunny got battered!

However. the 2 hour diversion was definitely worth it…

Tomorrow, one plans to visit Fisherman’s Bastion, one of the main sights in Budapest before we embark on our final train journey to Katowice in Poland.
