I really enjoyed the Danube river cruise in Budapest. Seeing the stunning Hungarian Parliament Building from the water was absolutely breathtaking, especially when it was beautifully illuminated at night. The famous bridges, including the iconic Széchenyi Chain Bridge, looked magical as their lights reflected on the river. The entire city sparkled, creating a romantic and unforgettable atmosphere. Even if you arrive later and don’t get a window seat at first, you can either go upstairs on the boat for a better view or simply wait, as people usually move around, and you will eventually have the chance to sit by the window and fully enjoy the spectacular scenery.

We took the boat trip at the beginning of February this year. We bought tickets for €12 and, what can I say, it was definitely worth it! The upper deck is open, so it was very cold, but there were blankets available to take up with you free of charge. Downstairs, there is plenty of space in the warmth with drinks and even a few snacks. The salami pizza was amazing! The views you get, especially on a night cruise, are spectacular. The Parliament is of course the number one attraction. We would definitely do it again!

A wonderful experience that I recommend doing in the evening because seeing the city and monuments lit up adds something extra to the trip. You can stay inside if you don't like the wind or cold temperatures, or outside to take photos from a unique vantage point. Given the low temperatures, I would have preferred not to have to wait outside the boat to board, but rather to have people seated as they arrived. Otherwise, I recommend this experience.

River cruise was magical tonight. Wanted to see Budapest by the sea at night so it was all like t up, but I do think during the day would allow for more wonders too. Headphones were good because there was a voiceover but couldn't quite be heard for other passengers talking etc. Loved the blankets available and drinks offered etc . God send having toilet aboard. Very impressed with ease of booking and directions and boarding . Very professional.

A nice experience. I recommend doing it at the beginning of your vacation so you can get a general idea of the main attractions. Seeing them lit up at night is certainly very impressive. However, I didn't think it was right that a free drink was advertised at the time of purchase, but then I was told on board the cruise that there were no free drinks. I think more clarity is needed.

The boat was not the same as the one in the photos. We booked this cruise because we wanted that boat. The boat we got it was a more tourist one with many many seats and a small open deck above. The cruise was good but there are better boats out there and closer to the center. For this one we had to cross the bridge and go in front of th paarliament from the other side, quite far to go and return.

    We took a beautiful night cruise in Budapest on a Saturday night. There were plenty of seats inside and a bit fewer outside, but we still managed to find space to enjoy the views and take some photos. Absolutely stunning. We loved Budapest and highly recommend going on a night cruise because the lights and the monuments are just absolutely breathtaking.

    This river cruse is one thing to do if you're traveling to Budapest. You get to sightsee the whole city which is amazing, especially at night. The tour comes with audio information about the history of the city related to the landmark you'll see. A 100% recommend.

    We had a wonderful time at the thermal baths and on the cruise along the Danube. There is no need to bring a swimming cap if you are not going to swim laps in the pool, as there are not many changing rooms.
