About this activity

Fit Budapest’s major landmarks into a 50-minutes, no-frills sightseeing cruise. From the open sundeck or closed compartment, take in the Parliament, Chain Bridge, Buda Castle, Gellert Hill, and Citadel without frills or hustle. Daytime and nighttime departures offer different views of the Budapest skyline. Board at Petofi ter, Dock 8, beside the Pest promenade (public transportation nearby); seats are taken in arrival order, so arrive early to choose your spot. The shared boat gives you a straightforward way to see Budapest from the water.

Use your favorite search engine to check the current status of the city lights. Suggest to arrive around 15 minutes before departure.

The tour is not guided or commentated; enjoy the city more like a local from a floating coffee house.
