Danube River Cruise in Budapest

Discover Budapest from Its Soul: the Danube River

Exploring Budapest by river is one of the most captivating ways to experience Hungary’s capital. This Danube River cruise offers a unique perspective of the city’s monuments, history, and natural surroundings, sailing past its most iconic landmarks.

At your selected time, head to Vigadó tér, where you’ll board the boat for a 1 hour and 10 minute cruise from north to south along the Danube. You’ll pass under five of Budapest’s most famous bridges: Chain Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge, Liberty Bridge, and the two bridges that connect Margaret Island, one of the city’s largest and most beloved green spaces.

From the deck, enjoy unmatched views of the Parliament building, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, St. Anne’s Church, and the Gellért Hotel, all enhanced with Spanish-language commentary throughout the journey. Your cruise also includes homemade lemonade and a drink of your choice—champagne, wine, beer, soft drink, or water.

Looking to explore further? From March to October, you can opt to disembark at Margaret Island and explore it at your own pace. A map with suggested routes and discounts will be provided. Please note: if you visit the island during the final cruise of the day, return transportation is on your own via taxi or public transit.
