Highlights & Description

Description

Begin your night at the riverside dock on the Buda side, right between the Chain Bridge and the Elisabeth Bridge. The meeting point is unmistakable – it’s the only dock in the area, located directly at the foot of the Buda Castle. Board a two-level boat with a rooftop deck offering uninterrupted views. Although the vessel could carry up to 200 people, each trip is limited to 150 guests, ensuring that everyone fits comfortably both on the open-air rooftop deck and in the heated indoor area as well.

As the boat cruises along the Danube, pass by Budapest’s most iconic sights, including the glowing Parliament Building, the elegant Chain Bridge, the illuminated Buda Castle, and the Citadel and Liberty Statue shining atop Gellért Hill.

This is a laid-back, visual experience with no commentary over loudspeakers. If you're interested in learning more about what you see, simply ask the staff – they'll provide access to a web-based audio guide that you can listen to on your phone in multiple languages.

Feel free to bring your own wine, beer or soft drinks. There’s no bar or restaurant on board, which means no inflated prices and complete freedom to enjoy your evening the way you like it.
