Description

Experience the breathtaking views of Budapest aboard a historical paddle steamer, and enjoy a welcome drink upon arrival. Listen to an online audio guide on your phone to discover fascinating facts about the sights along the way.

You'll board one of two unique historical ships: the Kisfaludy Paddle Steamer or the Hableány Paddle Steamer. Both ships are faithful recreations of 19th-century paddle steamers, sister vessels with similar designs and historical significance, offering the same panoramic sightseeing experience as they cruise past Budapest’s most iconic landmarks.

The audio guide is accessible via a QR code on board and is designed to be used on your phone. It includes both listenable and readable content in over 25 languages to enrich your journey. For the best experience, please bring your own phone and earphones. If you need help, our staff will be happy to assist.

Please note that seating is unassigned and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

All guests are required to follow safety regulations and crew instructions. Any form of disturbance to fellow passengers is strictly prohibited.
