Cruising along the River Danube
Margaret Bridge – Right after the Chain Bridge the second place belongs to Margaret Bridge, which is the second permanent stone bridge of Budapest and only 20 years younger than its ancestor.
Chain Bridge – This unique looking construction was the first, permanent stone bridge, that connected the two towns Buda and Pest
The House of Parliament: Considerably one of the most beautiful government buildings in the world.
Emerging at the foot of Elisabeth Bridge, Gellért Hill is amongst the most visited spots of the capital, due to the amazing view.
The new National Theatre is the most distinguished venue for plays in Hungary. Although there has been a Hungarian theatre in Budapest for the last 150 years, it has only had a permanent and suitable home for theatregoers since 15th March 2002.
Balna (a.k.a. the Whale, due to its shape) is a modern shopping, cultural, and entertainment center on the east bank of the River Danube.

The cruise was nice, as we downloaded the app we also got a very good explanation about sights we passed by. Staff nice and helpful. Everything went really well and was on time. Really great experience mainly for those discovering city.
There was no commentary, we had to guess what we were seeing. Food was awful and salty
Cruise by night under the lights by far the best. The romance. Great way to end a sightseeing day!
Nice town. Many sights. Easy to get around by public transportation, which in addition is free for + 65 years old. There was room to get around and no queue at the sights here in May.
Arrive early in the day and book the cruise for the evening sailing, book the ticket that gives you priority admission with a drink , this gives you the best chance to get the best seats as upper deck is limited , also included in the price is a drink of your choice. Highly recommend doing this on the sunset cruise as it’s definitely best for photos of the iconic buildings, highly recommended
We thoroughly enjoyed the riverboat cruise! Dominic and Frances were the absolute best. They were attentive!
We booked the evening cruise with one drink (priority boarding) from the guy at the boardwalk earlier that day. He gave us good advice to book with priority boarding as there would be a long queue...he wasn't wrong! We arrived 20min before (7:10pm) and got to walk past the 80+ people to the front and wait in the warmth for our boarding. My husband and myself were approx 10th on the boat and choose a great seat (with table) on the righthand side of the boat (downstairs). We had a fantastic view and could easily take photos without glare from inside the cabin. Other people choose the front of the boat (but personally the view wasn't great!) or upstairs but it was too cold for us -4°c with a biting wind. I choose prosecco, husband choose red wine for our one free drink (you can buy more aboard). This company worked for us but I would not have been happy in that massive queue!
Booked the River cruise with Ildi and Chilly. They were really helpful in explaining what was available and the costs etc. We booked it for later the same day, we were asked to meet at the boat at 4.10 for a 4.30 sail. We were served a drink on arrival which was included in the price. The boat was clean and the staff were attentive without being too intrusive. Ildi had told us to sit on the starboard side for the best views. It sailed up past Parliament building then turned around just before Margaret Island and sailed down the opposite bank past Gellert baths again turning after the baths before coming in to the Dock. Highly recommend the trip.
Great riverside views and a very welcoming team. Lots of choices of cocktails including Christmas options. Two drinks included was just perfect.
It was a great experience, from the moment we arrived until the end of the trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was pleasant throughout the journey.
