From Budapest to Zagreb

Today was a travel day, but I still managed to squeeze in a few last Budapest moments before moving on.

With a bright, golden morning to work with, I hopped on the metro and headed straight for the Great Market Hall. Yesterday I’d only seen it as the sun was disappearing, but today the whole place was glowing in the early light - its iconic roof tiles and all! 🤩

Since the weather was so perfect, I decided to fit in one more mini-adventure. I caught the metro out to Heroes’ Square, a place I’d only seen briefly in the rain. Under a clear sky, it was a completely different experience. I also swung by the Gatehouse Tower and the Szechenyi Thermal Baths - both looking their best in the sunshine. ☀️

After that, it was time. I headed back to the hotel, grabbed my bags, and said my final goodbyes to Budapest.

Early this afternoon, I boarded the bus to Zagreb, rolling into the city just before 5 p.m. Despite my Google Maps stubbornly refusing to load, I eventually found my way to the hotel. After dinner, I wandered through some nearby Christmas markets to get my first little taste of the city - twinkling lights, mulled wine scents, the works. 🎄

And now… let’s see what Zagreb has in store for me. 🇭🇷Read more
