Budapest: City Highlights Cruise with Welcome Drink

Budapest: City Highlights Cruise with Welcome Drink

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.

The cruise was pleasantly surprising the views were immaculate and the staff were very professional and it was a 10 out of 10 experience would recommend it to my friends. Thank you!

Wrap up warm if you’re sitting on the open deck at the top. I went at night and it was lovely to see the Parliament building (and others) all lit up!

Juan was a wonderful tour guide for our walking tour! Lots of fun facts! Loved the boat tour aswell

Nice experience with a welcome drink and for me a fruit juice as a welcome drink.

Great way of seeing all the buildings lit up at night. Great value for money.
