Details

Experience the beauty of Budapest by day on a 65-minute sightseeing cruise on the Danube, offering clear views of the city’s landmarks from the distinctive perspective of the river. The cruise departs from Vigadó tér, Dock 5, a central and easy-to-reach meeting point just a short walk from Vörösmarty tér.

As you travel along the river, you’ll pass many of Budapest’s best-known sights, including the Chain Bridge, Parliament Building, Buda Castle, Matthias Church, Fisherman’s Bastion, and the Liberty Statue, along with several other notable riverside landmarks.

You can choose to hop off at the Buda-side stop at Batthyány tér, an ideal starting point for visiting Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, and Matthias Church on foot.

Another optional stop is Margaret Island, where you can enjoy a peaceful walk through the park, see the Benedictine monastery ruins, or visit the Japanese Garden and the Great Music Fountain.

On board, relax on the panoramic upper deck or visit the bar on the lower deck, offering a selection of drinks during the cruise. The boat is also dog-friendly, allowing you to bring your pet along for the journey.

Beautiful cruise with a welcome drink. They gave us Sprite instead of fruit juice because they ran out. It also stopped in front of the parliament to give us a chance to take pictures. I recommend it.

Great soothing outing with a nice stopover at the island of Marguerite. Very bucolic.

The service is fine, the tour is fair, and the boat ride is a good break to do among other activities within the city. The landmarks we visited are really easy to spot.

It was wonderful sight seeing. However company sold more tickets than they had places on the boat. Several people stood first 20 min. Then the second floor was opened and people came upstairs and these people can have place to sit

Nice tour, it has two stops to get off, and an hour later the next boat passes, the first one leaves at 12 and the last one at 17:00, you can also do the full tour without stops first and then get off, no problem with that. There's an orange juice included, and the second floor has a roof, so there's shade in one part of the boat.

Nice experience, definitely worth doing if you're in Budapest. Unfortunately, it loses a lot of points due to the behavior of some of the bar staff, who are extremely rude and not very attentive to customers.
