Cruise Along the Danube
Marvel at the wonderful sights of Budapest on the Danube as you enjoy this wonderful 70-minute cruise on a newly renovated boat.
See the hidden nature of the riverbanks from this sightseeing cruise - things 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 give you an opportunity to see locals walking and jogging on this calm and relaxing favorite getaway within the city.
The sightseeing cruise will continue under two very famous bridges, one of which is the Chain Bridge with the guardian lions from the street sides, beautifully illuminated during the evening hours. Passing the Danube Promenade on Vigadó Square is truly enjoyable and will take you to the next modern bridge over the river Danube - Elisabeth Bridge. Be mesmerized by the beauty of the Buda castle, the residence of Hungarian Kings, and feel the opulence of the Matthias Church, characterized by its neo-Gothic style.
The dominant white color of the bridge connects the city into one. Above the bridge 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 - how beautiful and mesmerizing.
Hop On & Off to Explore Budapest
You can choose to disembark at Margaret Island, where one can explore the Palatinus bath, enjoy a picnic, watch the musical fountains, and more. The cruise offers another hop-off stop at Batthyány Square where you may take a stroll at the river bank, marvel at the Hungarian Parliament, or walk up to the Buda Castle!
