Overview

This 1-hour boat cruise on the Danube River offers views of Budapest’s main landmarks from the water. The boat departs near Margaret Bridge and travels along the river, passing sights such as Matthias Church, Buda Castle, the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, Castle Garden, the Citadel, St. Gellért Thermal Bath and Hotel, Gellért Hill, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Balna (The Whale), Corvinus University, Pesti Vigadó concert hall, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and the Hungarian Parliament Building. The cruise circles back to Margaret Bridge to complete the route. Guests may sit on the open or covered deck and use onboard Wi-Fi during the trip. Each guest receives a welcome drink, which can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic, served at the start of the cruise. The boat functions as a floating café and pub with a bar where additional drinks can be purchased. The city’s buildings may be illuminated in various colors or dimmed depending on the time of day or special events. This is not a guided tour, allowing guests to take photos and enjoy the views at their own pace. Fast check-in is available using a mobile voucher. Seating is unassigned and available on a first-come, first-served basis, with the option to change seats during the cruise. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
