Budapest-boattour-by-river

One very comfortable and enjoyable way to see many of Budapest historic sights is by taking a slow boat trip on the Danube river.

The Danube divides the city in two parts: Buda – the older rocky west side of the Danube where the castle, and many of Budapest historic attractions is located and Pest the heart of the pulsating modern city.

During the tour on the Donube you will see

  • the Castle,
  • the Fisherman´s Bastion,
  • the Parliament (on the picture),
  • Margret Island,
  • Grasham Palace,
  • Gellért hill and the Gellért hotel,
  • all of the beautiful bridges and
  • the National Theatre.

The boat tours on the Danube costs between 3000 – 8000 Forint depending if you go by day or night (all historical sight are beautifully lit at night) if you choose to eat dinner or not. The tours last for about 1½ hour. The boat tours start from the Vigado Square on the Pest side.

Book your tickets online or buy them onsight. For more information see:
