Budapest for art & culture lovers

Die Bedienung war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Essen, allem voran das Lamm, war wirklich sehr lecker und die Aussicht auf die in der Nacht beleuchtete Stadt Budapest traumhaft schön. Lwdiglich die Weinkarte könnte höherwertige Weine beinhalten, die 2 Flaschen, die wir bbestellt hatten waren beide minderwertig

St Stephen's is the most lavish cathedral I have ever visited - talk about awe and wonder! My photos do not do it justice. It is well worth paying the extra for the panoramic view. Lots of steps up (over 300!) but there is also an elevator. The Headout skip the line ticket is a must - people were queuing down the street at the ticket office, but there is a separate entrance for online bookings, where there was no queue at all. The ticket is valid for entry any time from 9.00am to 5.00pm.

Great communication following booking regarding meeting points etc. Both venues are stunningly beautiful and full of the history of budapest and Hungary. The Parliament tour is audio guided and takes around 45mins with plenty of opportunity to take pics. We also saw the changing of the guard which occurs each hour. The tour of St Stephens basilica was provided by a very knowledgeable local and we were even lucky enough to hear the organ playing as part of practice for a concert. The view at the top of st Stephens basilica is incredible, although not for the faint hearted if you don't like heights. There are lifts up & down, but to reach the top view there are stairs. Overall, this is a must do experience if visiting budapest

I felt absolutely extraordinary at Széchenyi Thermal Baths. From the moment I stepped in, it was as if my entire nervous system gently settled into a state of calm. There were several hours where I simply existed in a meditative flow floating between warm pools, saunas, and quiet inner stillness. It became more than a visit; it was a deeply immersive sensory experience. Everything was impeccably clean, thoughtfully organized, and incredibly pleasant. The saunas were wonderful . I explored all of them, alternating between heat and water, which enhanced the overall effect of relaxation and renewal. The staff were discreet, almost invisible, yet everything functioned seamlessly, creating a sense of ease and comfort throughout. I also noticed how carefully the water is maintained its quality and composition clearly monitored, which adds to the feeling of safety and professionalism. The people around were respectful and well-mannered, contributing to a harmonious atmosphere. You truly have everything you need there; it’s a place designed with intelligence and care. Time simply dissolves you don’t feel it passing, and you certainly never feel bored. It’s a magical space where you can disconnect from everything and reconnect with yourself. And even days later, my skin still feels incredibly soft almost like a baby’s skin, smooth and nourished in a way that’s hard to describe. Honestly, I have no words. If I didn’t have to go back to work, I would return even tomorrow and spend the entire day soaking in those incredible pools. I will absolutely gather my friends and come back. It is, without exaggeration, an amazing place.

Great atmosphere, friendly crew with a generous wait staff, talented musicians, delicious food options, and fair prices on everything -- in my American opinion. I ate like a king (more delicious goulash and perfect bread than I could finish) and had several beverages for the price of one upscale dish in the USA. Overall, I'm very happy with the cruise. Some tips for others: Arrive more than 30 minutes early, including walking time along the shore. The lines can be long and confusing, and you may have to switch lines or boats after you think you "made it." They have to verify your tickets in line and in the ship, and I was redirected twice. I made it to the right boat just two minutes before its scheduled departure! For photographers, note that the reflective glass made it hard to get good photos of Budapest from inside the ship, since interior lights reflected on the glass. I didn't try to go outside, but that might have been an option. Regardless, my best photos of the night were taken when walking down the shore after the tour.

Der Ablauf war sehr zügig. Man kam am Dock an und durfte nach Einlesen des QR-Codes in einen gemütlich warmen Warteraum. Bei den Temperaturen, die bei unserem Besuch abends noch waren, sehr angenehm. Sobald das Schiff von der Vortour gereinigt war, durften wir an Bord. Die Bedienung war freundlich. Die abendliche Tour war sehr schön. Budapest von der Wasserseite mit seinen beleuchteten Highlights zu sehen, war sehr interessant. Die Fahrt dauerte 1 Stunde. Angemessen. Es war ein schönes Erlebnis während unserer dreitägigen Tour.
