What you can expect
Discover Budapest on this short, 50-minute, no-frills sightseeing cruise. See and create unforgettable memories of the UNESCO heritage panorama, and the main landmarks - depending on the time of day - lit up and get the best views.
Climb aboard the boat at the pier at Petofi ter, Dock 8, right next to Pest promenade. All the main public transport options (including the scenic Tram 2) is within 2 minutes of walking. When you prefer a walk around the Parliament before or after the cruise, that is also a short walk (give or take 8 min.).
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as you cruise along the Danube River (preferably calm).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, and Earth Day - therefore, the illumination can be dimmed or have a different colour scheme.
The service provider does not provide or control city lights, just describes the average conditions customer may face. Use your favourite search engine to check the current status of the city lights.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 favourite seats. Naturally, the seats are taken in the order of arrival; therefore suggest arriving 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.
