Full description

The Danube runs through the middle of Budapest, and many of its greatest buildings were designed to be seen from the water. This one-hour cruise takes you along the riverfront past the Hungarian Parliament, the Chain Bridge, Buda Castle, Gellért Hill and Margaret Island.

A welcome drink is served when you board. Daytime departures show the details of the façades; after dark the bridges and Parliament are floodlit, making it one of the city’s most memorable views.
