Joanna Lumley continues her grand tour of the Danube River this Friday, venturing into the heart of Europe. In this second episode of her ITV1 series, she trades the Black Forest for the dramatic peaks of Slovakia’s Tatra Mountains, following the Danube’s tributaries as they carve their way through breathtaking landscapes.
From the mountain heights, Joanna travels to Budapest, experiencing the city from the unique perspective of the river itself. Her explorations take in a children’s railway, a look into Budapest’s Jewish heritage, and an unexpected encounter with Hungarian cowboys, a cultural experience far removed from the usual tourist trail.
Joanna Lumley brings her trademark blend of curiosity and good humor to her travelogues, and this journey along Europe’s second-longest river looks set to be another fascinating chapter in her television adventures. Catch the episode this Friday, 30 May at 9:00 PM GMT on ITV1.
