This night cruise is one of the most popular in Budapest and one of our top recommendations for anyone looking for an evening boat tour in the city. It is operated by Duna-Weser and is also a favorite among travelers on the well-known platform GetYourGuide.
The cruise lasts about 75 minutes along the Danube and operates several times each evening from 17:00 to 21:00, almost always full of visitors from all over the world. One of the main reasons for its popularity is the unlimited drinks and the audio guide included in the ticket.
When we took this cruise, we experienced excellent and attentive service from the crew, who constantly moved around offering refills. We chose to go at sunset, which allowed us to enjoy the Danube both in daylight and in the evening, and we recommend everyone to pick this time if possible.
The boat is very comfortable and modern, with access to an open upper deck that provides the best photo opportunities. The drinks were very good, especially the prosecco, and overall, this is simply a great and highly recommended cruise. Our only remark is that the audio guide volume could have been a bit louder.
Please note that the company offers two different departure points that you must select when booking: Akadémia 3 Departure and Carl Lutz Rakpart Departure.
The ticket price starts at around €25 per person, with no child discount, and it includes unlimited drinks and the audio guide. Booking can be made here.
