Description

Discover Budapest on a romantic sightseeing cruise along the River Danube. See the old buildings - depending on the time day - lit up and get the best views while sipping a complimentary glass of welcome drink (alcoholic/non-alcoholic).
Climb aboard the boat at the pier at Dock 42 port next to Budapest's Szent István Park and receive your welcome drink upon arrival.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as you cruise along the calm Danube River.
See the stunning city of Budapest from a whole new perspective and admire the skyline. Sail down the river and marvel at passing monuments such as the National Parliament, Buda Castle, and the recently restored Várkert Bazár.
Head to the open deck for perfect views of the illuminated Vigadó Concert Hall, or look at the floodlit monuments - depending on the time day - between the Margaret Bridge and Rákóczi Bridge from the comfort of the deck either with panoramic windows or open air.
Seats are taken in the order of arrival, you are free to change places at any time. Lights come on after getting dark. (Since Budapest uses the illumination to commemorate certain events like Earth Hour, Fight Against Breast Cancer, and national events, the light may vary in color and intensity.)
The tour is not guided, experience the city more like a local - the boat functions as a floating coffee house or pub experience with its own bar available during the cruise.
Feeling thirsty? No worries, treat yourself to another drink from the pub onboard or have a hot cup of coffee from the coffee house if you like.
Finally, end your cruise sailing back to the pier with long-lasting memories and great pictures.

Good to know before you go
  • Seats are taken in the order of arrival. There are no assigned (good/better) seats, though seating options are available. The whole boat goes the same direction
  • Food and drinks may be purchased only on the boat (you can not bring/consume on board)
  • The boat will start at the exact time indicated on the voucher. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before that; avoid arriving 5 minutes before departure. Prior passengers need to exit, do not block the entrance!
  • Toilets are not usable 5 minutes before returning to the dock.
  • Boats travel faster downstream than upstream, therefore the time spent one way differs
  • High water levels affects the speed of the boat negatively
  • Each customer above the age of 3 needs the same ticket. Free for ages 0-2 with one adult ticket purchased
  • Weather affects condensation; outside always has an undisturbed view
  • Smoking is only permitted in the designated places only; a violation will result in a fine
