Budapest Danube Boat Tour

The Danube River Night Cruise is pure magic — city lights shimmering on the water, stunning architecture glowing in the dark, and the gentle breeze as you sip your drink in the middle of the river. It’s breathtaking from start to finish. You can book in advance and choose between a dinner or drinks cruise. Tip: Arrive 30–45 minutes before departure and stand in the queue so you can grab a prime corner spot for the best views. Some ships have limited seating, so early boarding helps secure a great place — many people “reserve” spots this way. An unforgettable way to see Budapest’s beauty at night — highly recommended! 🌙🚢✨

A beautiful one hour boat tour, highly recommend to do if you're visiting Budapest

The boat tour overall was great and very informative. I strongly suggest that you get there EARLY because the seats fill up fast. There are 3 rows of seats, 2 on both sides and one in the middle. The middle seats have a bit of an obstructed view when it comes to pictures. We got there late and sadly didn’t get very good seats. The drinks are ok but obviously bottom shelf, so don’t work yourself up for them! This is a guided tour via a little device with headphones in several languages. The description of what’s being transcribed is on the 2 screens on the side. The only complaint and suggestion I have is that while the transcription is going on, you get lost in what is where. For example, if the store is taking about a building we are passing, it doesn’t say which side the building is on, so you have to look around and figure out what it is they’re taking about. It would be easier if there was some electronic sign that would point to the object being discussed because sometimes the pictures did not represent the building being discussed. Otherwise, the lit up buildings on the Danube were absolutely breath taking. It’s an incredible experience and an absolute MUST!!

It was great experiance. We sat down in some great and cosy seats. Barmans were friendly and fast. We had online tickets. It is not 1h ride, little less. We had a great time.

One hour tour, you can order drinks there is a bar inside. You can also listen to the guide showing the most important views in budapest. We paid around 5000 ft per person from a machine and then we went to the pier

Disappointing – Not Recommended The cruise was advertised as 60 minutes but lasted only about 36 minutes. The audio guide did not work at all, so we received no information whatsoever. For the high price, we felt completely scammed. Absolutely not recommended. Take every other cruise but not Danube!

It was a lovely experience. Fabulous views. Went on the tour at exactly the right time, so I had the best of seeing the city by day, sunset, and night. Excellent trip, not too crowded, friendly staff and fantastic value for money.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a Danube River boat tour with stunning views of Budapest's landscape, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The cruise offered a perfect blend of relaxation and sightseeing. The picturesque scenery of Budapest, with its iconic landmarks like the Parliament building and Buda Castle, looked even more magnificent from the water. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, and the onboard staff were attentive and friendly. The commentary provided during the tour was informative, adding depth to the experience by sharing fascinating facts about the city and its history. As the sun set and the city lights came to life, the atmosphere became truly magical. It was a unique and romantic way to appreciate the beauty of Budapest. I highly recommend this Danube River boat tour to anyone visiting the city. It's an unforgettable way to see the breathtaking Budapest skyline while enjoying a relaxing cruise along the majestic Danube River.
