Description
Admire a different side of Budapest from the river on this short, 50 minutes, no-frills sightseeing cruise. Chain Bridge, Buda Castle, Castle Bazaar, the Parliament and other main landmarks.
Discover Budapest on this short, 50-minutes no-frills a sightseeing cruise. See and make unforgettable memories of the Unesco heritage panorama and the main landmarks - depending on the time day - lit up and get the best views.
Climb aboard the boat at the pier at Margaret Dock 10 port close to the Pest side of Margaret bridge. All the main public transportation options (including the scenic Tram 2) is within 2 minutes of walk. When you prefer a walk around the Parliament before or after the cruise that is also within 10 minutes of walk.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as you cruise along the calm Danube River.
You will have the opportunity to commemorate all the main landmarks of Budapest including, but not limited to Buda Castle and Castle Bazaar, Chain Bridge, Science and Economic Universities, Gellért-Hill and naturally the Parliament as the boat returns to the port. Budapest uses the city's illumination to commemorate certain events - including, but not limited to fight against breast cancer, national events, Earth day - therefore the illumination can be dimmed.
The boat offers both a closed compartment and an open sundeck - with cover against rain - so you can enjoy the sights and feel the breeze at the same time. You are free to select your favorite seats. Naturally, the seats are taken in the order of arrival, therefore suggest to arrive around 15 minutes before departure.
The tour is not guided; enjoy the city more like a local - the boat functions as a floating coffee house.
