Workers use sandbags to block water as the worst floods to hit Central and Eastern Europe in at least two decades kill 24.
The Danube River has peaked at a 10-year high in a heavily fortified Budapest with its water reaching the steps of parliament, after deadly Storm Boris lashed Europe.
Torrential rains and strong winds have led to widespread flooding in Central and Eastern Europe since last week, killing 24 people and devastating towns and villages.
As the swollen Danube waters moved south on Saturday, Hungarian emergency workers lugged sandbags to fortify settlements, including Budapest, where the river flooded the embankment up to the steps of the parliament building.
The water came close to 2013 record levels before it began to recede on Saturday.
