It wasn't hard to get to the port. It was worth it for Budapest, which looks even more beautiful at night. There were many people standing on the boat and there were only small screens with information, the voice narration always attracts my attention more. Because everything is new for tourists. It is not clear whether to look right or left in the dark, there are magnificent structures with lights on, but of course they look different at night and day. I think a voice guidance would have been nice and it could have been announced that guests should sit down (after getting popcorn and drinks etc. from the bar).

5 out of 5 stars

Amazing experience, I recommend you do it at 8:30 pm by booking a few days in advance, even if it's a bit cold it's absolutely worth it. Very low price for the beauty of things you will see.
