As daylight saving time ends in Hungary on 27 October, the clocks will go back by one hour, meaning more light in the morning and less in the evening. But don’t let that dampen your spirits! Budapest’s enchanting Lumina Park has already opened, and Gödöllő’s impressive Light Park is set to open tomorrow.

The  magic of lights opened in Budapest

At 3:00 a.m. on 27 October, clocks will be set back by one hour. This change will bring an earlier sunrise and sunset. While the days will feel shorter, there’s a chance to brighten your evenings with a visit to Budapest’s Lumina Park.

“Dazzle your eyes and admire the light sculptures of your favourite fairytale characters and movie heroes”, invites Lumina Park on Budapest’s iconic Margaret Island, as per its official website. “Our park will be a huge film festival for the whole family!
