Adventures in Europe: Budapest, Hungary

I arrived at Budapest's Nyugati train station late yesterday evening. 

I am heading onward to Vienna this afternoon, but I was able to enjoy the city in the morning. I began by crossing the Danube by tram and taking a long walk along the river and over the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, which had been closed when I was in Budapest in 2021.



I looped back north towards the remarkable Parliament building . . .


. . . and the very potent Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial, which commemorates the Jewish victims who were massacred here during World War 2.


My train to Vienna leaves from Budapest-Keleti, and I headed over there early this afternoon.
