Stunning Views and Incredible River!
Nov 2020
Took an hour cruise on the Danube with included Prosecco - it was the highlight of our 5 days in Budapest!

Granted.. we were very lucky with the weather, but oh my... the views of the parliamant building were just spectacular!

If you are interested in taking
Feb 2020
If you are interested in taking a river cruise, don't go with Panavision. After a fire last July, on the ship A-rosa-riva, a ship that makes the Danube, they tell us that they have no responsibility after two months of claim.
Do not be fooled, DO NOT contract with Panavision.

Cruise Danube on Metro Boat
Nov 2019
BKK (Budapest Metro) has boat service on the Danube. Get a Metro Day Pass and hop on for nice, cheap scenic trip. Get on/off the boat at Parliament Building.

The Iconic Danube
Nov 2019
I did a saunter by the river Danube. I was such a GREAT feeling because there I was beside this famous river and I actually dipped the sole of my shoe on the river; it was a feeling full of joy that there I was looking at this historical; to me anyway, river.

Cruise the Danube by night - fantastic
Oct 2019
Don’t bother booking a cruise with meal but spend your time up on deck taking in the beautiful views and lights. Very romantic, especially on a warm night.

Pure magic.
Feb 2020
Very few rivers in Europe give away a magical feeling.
The Danube sure does.
The wide river with both it magnificent banks - Buda and Pest, and its gorgeous bridges - is both picturesque and magical.
After dark, the illuminated bridges and banks transform the river into one of the most romantic cruises or strolls in existence.

Beautiful river with excellent views on both sides. Even just walking across a couple of the bridges was enough.
