I took a Danube River cruise in Budapest, and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. I’d seen photos of the Hungarian Parliament Building before, but nothing compares to watching it appear from the water glowing gold against the night sky and stretching endlessly along the riverbank. The cruise itself was smooth and relaxing. As we passed under the bridges, each one lit differently, Budapest felt like it was putting on a show. The Parliament was the star of it all massive, perfectly symmetrical, and almost unreal when you see it reflected in the Danube. I must have taken a hundred photos, but honestly, it’s the kind of sight that’s better in person.

We bought an all day ticket and arrived at 9.30am, we didn't wait at all. Our changing room was very clean and the wrist strap secured it for the day. The weather was very warm, clear blue sky, so there were a lot of sun beds out and people 'reserved' with towels. We stayed outside for a few hours then ventured into the pool building. There were saunas, steam rooms and multiple pools of varying temperatures. We had a large chicken roll for lunch which cost around 2500f, coffee and beer was also available. The atmosphere was great, adventure pool was good fun and everyone was friendly. Brilliant value for money, an essential Budapest experience.

The cruise was very interesting but I did not feel there was much staff available for directions. For example, we had booked an audio guide but no one was there to give us directions on what to do to download it. Fortunately there were two Italian guys present, certainly more digitally savvy than us, who helped us download it. In short, perhaps the customer should be more pampered and taken care of. True, the cost was not high but that is not why the customer should be left to his fate. However, it was a nice cruise for what was seen. Budapest is indeed a beautiful city.

    Really enjoyed the day in the spa. It was not crowded at all and we were able to experience both the indoor and outdoor baths easily. We lingered over breakfast so did not arrive until after 11am but were able to walk straight in without any queuing. We spent most of our time outside despite the 4 degree air temperature. It was a glorious day and both my sister and I managed to get sunburnt. Remember to bring your sunscreen even if you are visiting in winter. Would highly recommend and don't stress if you forget your flip flops or towel. There is a shop at the entrance for everything you will need. The cruise was a great way to relax after the baths but one small thing to note is that even though there is a bar to get food and drinks on board if you get up to go someone will take your seat, especially if you arrived early and snagged a good one!

    Easy entrance to the spa, we went right in! Locker rooms a bit backward...lots of lockers in little space and with only two benches that couldn't hold all the people. The outdoor baths simply: FABULOUS; the indoor ones we leave a little to be desired, not really clean however it was doable to be in one less than one where the water was green and the bottom of the pool was black...what can I say not even a foot we dipped. The saunas were great just a little too crowded. For the showers they could put maybe a proper hand shower rather than some kind of hose and go and the hair dryers were not great either. Restaurant definitely overpriced, while it is true that the portions were honest however for the prices forget it. In the report a relaxing day!

    I had a wonderful time on the Danube River cruise. The boat was beautifully decorated for the season, with small Christmas stalls on board and a cozy bar where you could enjoy a glass of mulled wine or a warm hot chocolate. The atmosphere felt festive and relaxing at the same time, and watching Budapest’s illuminated landmarks glide by from the water was truly special. Overall, it was a lovely experience — perfect for soaking in the magic of the city during the holidays. Highly recommended! 💛

    Pleasantly surprised by this trip, we got there quite early (0900) and made the most of it, did get busy later and large queues to enter when we left (1200) Pools very warm, outside swimming pool was sparsely populated though, you need swim caps for this one. Small 'lazy river' which really whips you round fast! Didn't visit the indoor pools, but lockers and changing rooms good, reception good and the whole place seemed more modern than its 100 year age.
