Genial z el barco es muy amplio, limpio. El personal es muy educado y atento. El único pero es que sale desde la orilla de buda pero no fue ningún problema

L'abbiamo trovato un po' noioso, pensavamo fosse più lungo l itinerario invece l abbiamo fatto più volte gli stessi giri. All'accoglienza c'era Kristian che ci ha accolto con gentilezza.

It would have been nice for the crew to make announcements as we went past famous buildings not guided tour but so that people could go see as it was a cold windy day when we went.

It said everywhere to stay seated because there wouls be service on board, none of the 5+ staff members on board came to take my order. The audio guide is only available if you download an app and a file on that app on the spot: which you cannot do without using data or wifi. At least there was a bit of info on the screens (not in sync with cruise and very minimal). The views were worth the money, but will not book again.

Danube river cruise is a must do activity in Budapest. Especially in the night, it is magical when the historical buildings are lighted. The cruise takes about an hour. It is better to come early before your time slot and stand in the queue so that you get the best seats in the ferry. Buying the tickets from headout was fairly easy. With the map, it was easy to locate the boarding point.

Cruise Along the Danube

Marvel at the wonderful sights of Budapest on the Danube as you enjoy this 1-hour cruise. See the hidden nature of the riverbanks from this sightseeing cruise that one can only see from the water. Bridges over the River Danube were built in many rounds. Take in the fascinating architecture of the Chain Bridge and the Margaret Bridge. Passing by Margaret Island will allow you to see locals walking and jogging on this calm and relaxing favorite getaway within the city.

Sail Past Famous Bridges

The evening sightseeing cruise will continue under two famous bridges, including the Chain Bridge with illuminated guardian lions on either street side. See the beauty of the Buda castle, the residence of Hungarian Kings, and the opulence of the Matthias Church, characterized by its neo-Gothic style. On the Buda side of the river, you can see the statue of Szent Gellért after whom the hill was named. On top of the hill, you will see the beautiful Hungarian woman, Citadella, standing proud with her arms open. Imagine these sights in the soft glow of the lights at night.
