Let us treat you to a short guide: Opened in 1849 the Chain Bridge was the first permanent bridge connecting Buda and Pest. The bridge's lion statues were initially believed to have no tongues, however this is just a local legend. Completed in 1902, it's the Hungarian Parliament is the third-largest parliament building in the world. It has 690 rooms inside and houses the National Assembly and the Holy Crown of the Hungarian Kingdom. The neogothic dome 96 meters high, symbolizing the year 896, when the Magyars settled in the Carpathian Basin. Built in the 13th century, the Matthias Church served as the coronation church for Hungarian kings. Named after King Matthias Corvinus, who married Princess Beatrice of Naples here in 1474. Named after the fishermen who defended this part of the city walls during the Middle Ages, the Fishermen's seven bastions represent the seven Magyar tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin. The original Buda castle was built in the 13th century; the current structure dates back to the 18th century. It houses the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum. Its last habitant was governor Miklós Horthy between the two world wars. The Hill comes into sight named after Saint Gellert, who was thrown to his death from the hill in 1046. The Citadella atop the hill was built by the Habsburgs after the 1848-49 revolution. At the base, two of Budapest’s most iconic thermal baths await: Rudas, with its Ottoman-era dome and rooftop pool, and the art nouveau Gellért Baths, famed for their mosaic halls and healing waters. While the river connects everything, it also once divided. In 1873, Buda, Pest, and Óbuda officially merged into one city: Budapest. The Danube River, central to that identity, is not just a waterway but a historic lifeline flowing through centuries of Hungarian culture. As we cruise turn at the southern point, you'll see the modern curves of the National Theatre and the Palace of Arts (MÜPA): cultural hubs for music, opera, and theater. The Whale (Bálna) is a bold architectural blend of old and new, housing shops and exhibitions. Passing under the elegant Liberty Bridge, we near Corvinus University, one of Hungary’s top institutions, and the bustling Great Market Hall, where locals shop for paprika, meats, and handmade goods. Our journey concludes near the Vigadó Concert Hall, a stunning 19th-century venue and symbol of Budapest’s rich musical heritage: the perfect finale to this unforgettable Danube cruise.

5 out of 5 stars

very nice cruise, we pass in front of the illuminated parliament (on the way there and back), the boat is covered so the rain did not bother. Bring very warm clothes because in winter it is cold. Possibility to sit at the bottom of the boat, sheltered from the wind, but the view must be less beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars
