Budapest Danube Evening Cruise with Drinks

There is no better way to see Budapest than from the Danube at night. As the sun sets and the city lights up, this one-hour evening cruise takes you past every major landmark along both banks of the river. From the open-air deck, watch the Parliament Building transform into a golden palace of light, see the Chain Bridge draped in white bulbs reflected in the dark water below, and admire the illuminated Buda Castle perched high on the hill above. Your onboard guide provides commentary on each landmark as you pass, sharing stories of the city's turbulent history and its rebirth as one of Europe's most vibrant capitals. A welcome drink is included to set the mood, and additional drinks are available from the bar at reasonable prices. The panoramic windows on the lower deck ensure great views even in cold weather, but the upper deck is where the real magic happens. It is consistently rated as one of the top experiences in Budapest, and once you see the city lit up from the water, you will understand why.
