Continue along the waters and marvel at the nighttime views of the enchanting Buda Castle, the grand Statue of Liberty, and the impressive Citadella on top of Gellért Hill.

Sail past other famous landmarks along the river like Margaret Island, the Palace of Arts (MUPA), the National Theatre, and the Vigado Concert Hall.

We chose this cruise and meal because of the type of boat used, which had a fully glass top. We were lucky due to the weather being exceptionally hot so the glass side/top were open which gave brilliant views of the city and country side. The tables are four across and we were on a middle table which actually gives better overall views than the window seats. The choice of meal was good and the food we chose was exceptional. The bottles of wine are reasonably priced and we had a Penfolds red which was lovely. The price may seem high but it was definitely value for money.
