Danube River Cruise
Cruise on the Danube
In every trip to the capital of Hungary, you can't miss a boat ride through Budapest. With this activity, you'll enjoy an unforgettable cruise along the Danube River in a boat from the Silverline company.
The journey will start from Pier 11 in Budapest. Once there, the crew on board will greet you and indicate your seat. All ready to sail the waters of the Danube! Throughout this boat ride, you'll discover the history of the Hungarian capital thanks to an audio guide in English, and you'll also have the chance to enjoy a drink on your own at the boat's bar.
We'll start this cruise along the right shore of the second-largest river in Europe. First, we'll pass under the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, the city's most famous bridge. Then, we'll continue the journey admiring the majestic Parliament of Budapest, a gem of Neo-Gothic architecture.
After marveling at the stunning facade of this legislative building, we'll turn around at Margaret Island. Next, we'll see the bell tower of the Matthias Church and the viewpoint of the Fisherman's Bastion.
Our boat ride will continue on the left riverbank of the Danube, where we'll observe from the cruise ship the dome of the Buda Castle, the monolith of the Citadel, and the iconic facade of the luxurious Hotel Gellért.
Lastly, we'll turn around to admire the National Theatre and the Central Market Hall, built at the end of the 19th century, on the right shore. Did you know it's the largest market in Hungary?
Finally, after a 1-hour cruise along the Danube, we'll conclude this boat ride through Budapest by returning to the starting pier.
