I was there the exact same day you filmed this. It was so odd to have walked that area the night before and the water was completely fine, and the next day I wanted to take a tram and got so confused on why the tram tunnel was flooded. Especially as it didn’t rain that night. Maybe Budapest needs some flood barriers especially for the tunnels near Saint Stephen
It's crazy to think that just 2 weeks ago I was walking along the river wall and sitting on the bench's in front of Parliament taking pictures. The water was so low at the time.
Most likely the flooding won't last for too long. The Danube peaked today at 693 cm. As per authorities, in two days, the lower embankment will be open again.
Thanks for sharing
you are most welcome! :)

Could not agree more. Similar flood barrier systems to what they use in Szentendre, Nagymaros, etc. could work here as well.

lots of rains along the upper section of the Danube caused a rapid change in water levels. Likely in a few days, weeks things will be back to normal.
good because i'll be back in a couple of weeks@@behindbudapest
hoping things are back to normal now! it is still beautiful as ever though even with flooding.
yes, by the end of 2023 everything was back to normal. :)
