Most of the cruises here in Budapest last just 1 hour, and this is in fact the classic duration of a standard sightseeing cruise on the Danube. 1 hour may sound a bit short, but it is enough time for a boat tour to go both downstream and upstream, so that you can see from the boat, on both sides, all the famous sights of Budapest such as the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, and the well-known bridges like Elisabeth Bridge and the Chain Bridge.
