Pravin – India

Nice cool ride. Little town is beautiful. It would have been better if there was some commentary or music on the boat.

Sylvia – Germany

Enjoyable river trip from Budapest to Szentendre. The only thing that was irritating was the need to join the boat next to the ticket office w(which was not near my hotel) and show the qr code to get a paper ticket in exchange. On the return journey I was able to disembark at a different point that was much more convenient for my hotel.

Once in Szentendre, start at the Main Square (Fő tér)—a lively spot lined with colorful Baroque buildings, perfect for snapping photos and soaking in the ambiance. The Serbian Orthodox Church is a must-see, with its striking frescoes and history that harks back to Szentendre's diverse cultural past.

For art lovers, visit the Museum of Margit Kovács, home to unique ceramic masterpieces—fun fact: she was one of Hungary's most renowned artists! Just a short walk away is the Open Air Ethnographic Museum, where you can explore over 300 traditional buildings and learn about Hungarian rural life—imagine stepping back in time!

Don’t forget to stop by Szentendre's famous art galleries, where local artists display vibrant works inspired by the town's scenic beauty. And for a quirky treat, explore the Micro Miracle Museum, a collection of tiny, intricate art pieces that’ll leave you amazed by their detail.

To top off your visit, relax at one of the riverside cafes, sipping a glass of local wine while enjoying the gentle flow of the Danube. It's a day of history, art, and delightful surprises!

Returning you can enjoy the sun on our open top deck and the glorious Parliament of Budapest once arriving back to the capital.

Escape the crowds and uncover one of Hungary’s best-kept secrets with a Danube Bend cruise to Visegrád. Departing Budapest at 8:30 AM, this scenic journey winds through lush hills and storybook villages, arriving in Visegrád by 11:50 AM. Spend the day exploring the hilltop citadel, zipping down the alpine bobsled track, and dining like a king at the Renaissance Restaurant. Nestled in the curve of the Danube, Visegrád offers stunning views, rich history, and a peaceful charm far from the tourist trail. The cruise departs back at 4:50 PM, returning you to Budapest by 7:20 PM—refreshed, inspired, and full of unforgettable memories.
