Step inside the Serbian Orthodox Church to admire its ornate frescoes and discover the town’s multicultural past. Art lovers can explore the Margit Kovács Museum, home to exquisite ceramic works, and the nearby Open Air Ethnographic Museum with over 300 traditional buildings showcasing Hungarian rural life.

Browse Szentendre’s vibrant galleries, visit the quirky Micro Miracle Museum, and unwind at a riverside café with a glass of local wine as the Danube drifts by.

On your return cruise, soak up the sunshine on the open deck and enjoy breathtaking views of Budapest’s Parliament building.

Spend the day exploring the hilltop citadel with its breathtaking views, racing down the alpine bobsled track, and feasting like royalty at the Renaissance Restaurant.

Nestled in a graceful curve of the Danube, Visegrád offers beauty, history, and tranquility all in one.

The cruise departs back to Budapest at 16:50, arriving at 19:20.

The boat was massively over crowded with people having to stand. Managed to get a seat at the back but right by the toilets, which let out an awful smell. We arrived half an hour prioe to start time ans the queue was huge. For this reason we ended up getting an uber back as we didn't want to bite into our time on the trip having to queue just to get a seat on the way back. Sventendre itself was absoloutely beautiful and would 100% recommend going.

The trip was cool, but 5 hours in Szentendre is a bit too long, a waste of time.

The top deck is the place to be. The views were fantastic and highly recommended. The little town of Szentendre was dreamy and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. The enclosed area of the boat was very very warm.

Wonderful trip to Szentendre, a quaint and clean touristy town. 3 hours was perfect to stroll, have a lunch, shop, and take in the town. The boat ride is simply transportation, no narration. Boat was older and worn, but clean and did the job. Would recommend the 1/2 day trip if you’re looking to fill some time outside the normal Budapest attractions.

Definitely worth it if you are looking for a fun half day trip! The town was so beautiful and had so many stores, we bought so many things to take home. There was some amazing restraints in town too. We went to Nobi, an amazing sushi and ramen restaurant!

Nice and comfortable boat. It has a covered upper deck with nice view, and a lower deck with big windows and climate controlled. The ship was on time.

The boarding locations were easy to find. The process for boarding at the return was a little chaotic.

Lovely village, well worth the trip. Boat faster coming back. I would have loved even longer than the 1.5 hrs in the village on the half day trip. Boat on time both journeys. Good value for money.

The day trip was great, it was a very hot day but it was absolutely spectacular. we loved the small quaint town of Szentendre. All the main restaurants were packed with a long waiting time to order but we discovered a small restaurant and the food was fabulous. Some commentaries on the boat would have been great as we were first timers here in Hungary.

Great trip and friendly crew, but we think we should have booked the half day version as 5 hours was to long
