See the most iconic attractions in Budapest in a unique way: join a comfortable river cruise and take in the stunning monuments that surround you while sipping a tasty glass of welcome drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic option is available). You'll get to admire the lit bridges, the Parliament, the Buda Castle, the renewed Varkert Bazar, the Vigado Concert Hall and all of the city's other beauties, located between Margaret Bridge and Rákoczi Bridge.

Open air in the summer, heating is provided (when needed and) in winter.

Not enough seats and we had to stand for the full trip. Welcome drink is a cheap Prosecco in a small glass. We were tricked into thinking our boat was this lovely all glass open deck boat however, we entered the boat only to be lead straight through it on to a hidden boat behind the lovely boat!

Det var rigtig godt, at det fik forholdsvist hurtigt med at komme på, da de åbnede for landgangen, men man stod dog i kø rimelig længe og ventede. Det var lidt ærgerligt fordi det var koldt. (Hvilket I ikke kan gøre for) Det var også rigtig godt, at man fik sin velkomstdrink idet man ankom på båden, og endnu et plus med de alkoholfri! Til sidst gik det også dejlig let med at komme af båden igen. Alt i alt en rigtig fin tur for pengene.

Did not like; No commentary on boat. Dock 42 approx 1km from nearest public transport no details of this on web booking page. Liked ; boat not crowded so had great views all along river.
