Details

This 70-minute Danube sightseeing cruise offers a relaxed way to see Budapest’s most famous landmarks from the water, including the Parliament Building, Chain Bridge, and Buda Castle. Evening departures are especially rewarding, when the city lights create the strongest visual impact, while daytime cruises provide a simple overview of the riverbanks. A drink is included, though it’s best seen as a small extra rather than a highlight of the experience. Boats can be busy at popular times, and seating is shared, so this cruise suits travelers who value views over privacy. Audio commentary is available in multiple languages, but many guests primarily enjoy the scenery at their own pace. Overall, it’s a straightforward sightseeing cruise that works well as an easy introduction to Budapest, especially after dark.

Important information

It was great! Beautiful ship with plenty of space. We sat in the open part. Explanations via headphones, in many different languages to choose from. Duration of 70 minutes, ideal for children.

I really enjoyed the walk along the Danube. A comfortable boat, from any point of which everything is perfectly visible around. Suitable for walking in any weather.

A great boat with a panoramic view: you want it on the street, you want it on the second floor (the observation windows move left/ right, you want it on the first floor, everything is clean

An excursion definitely worth doing if you are in Budapest, seeing the city lit up by the Dunube has its charm. A great experience at an affordable price.
