Full description

Sailing from Dock 42 near Szent István Park, this cruise passes Parliament, the castle and prominent riverside buildings over about 75 minutes. You can sit outdoors or behind sheltered panoramic windows, and a welcome drink, alcoholic or not, is included.

There is an onboard bar but no live or recorded sightseeing narration, so it works best as a relaxed ride rather than an informational tour. Evening departures show the illuminated city when lighting is on.

Reviewers like the scenery and punctual sailings, though some mention the small welcome drink and the longer walk to the dock.
