Took a boat trip on the Danube. Boats go in a figure of eight. Great views at night. All the bridges and attractions well lit.

I took the Legenda Boat trip and thoroughly enjoyed it! The best way to see Budapest at night. I took loads of photos while enjoying a glass of champagne ( all inclusive). Great value for money 16 EURO per person. I wish I took the 9:00pm or 9:30 pm instead of the 10:00 pm. (There were choices of booking for... More

Well you can't go to any streach of this River without going on it. We went when it was very cold but the sun was out and the boat trip was included in the price of the bus tour. you can get on and off at several landing stages so it's another way to visit an area of this beautiful... More

There are a number of boat rides from the Pest side of the city around Margaret Island, passing the awesome Parliament building and other grand monuments. However, the English narration was largely inaudible or indecipherable because of the heavy accents. Still, if you are looking for a break from walking, it is a lovely ride.

We went on a boat ride that was included with the hop on hop off bus ticket. We went on the 7pm cruise and the sun was setting and it was just beautiful. The english guide gave a really interesting talk about all the building which line both sides of this river.

A cruise on the River front between Buda and Pest is a must. It is relaxing and if you take one with a tour you get some good information about the history. You can enjoy beverages or nice ice cream too.

All buildings were lit up at night and it was gorgeous to see. Cruise included beverages and lasted about 1 hour. Totally worth doing. Headsets with choice of many languages at every comfortable seat.Large windows so everyone could see the sights easily.

Walking along the Danube is very peaceful and the views are incredible. There are many tours too, We did ours with Big Bus Tours and would recommend them. There was a river cruise which was included, there is also a great restaurant that we found on a boat! Just and explore. The Danube is the lifeblood of the city!

If you are thinking twice to go on a Danube River Cruise, think no more. My husband and I just came back from a 9 day cruise of the Danube River starting in Passau, going to Bratislava, to Budapest, Vienna and back to Passau. One of the best ever vacation we had. Budapest at night with all the lights is... More
