Many boat tour companies in Budapest offer cruises departing at 18:00. Since cruises at 19:00 and later are usually the most popular times among tourists, a 6 PM cruise is an excellent choice if you are looking for a more relaxed experience with shorter lines and fewer crowds on board.
If you are in Budapest during spring or summer, there is still plenty of daylight at 18:00, allowing you to enjoy clear and bright views of the city’s landmarks during the cruise. In autumn and winter, however, sunset begins around this time, and by 18:00 it may already be getting dark, meaning you can actually enjoy both a daytime and nighttime experience in one cruise, which is another great reason to choose this departure time.
Here are all the Budapest cruises departing at 6 PM or around that time:
