Budapest By Night Sightseeing Cruise with Welcome Drink

See Budapest's illuminated riverside from the water on a 50-minute evening cruise, with a welcome drink included. The boat glides past the lit-up Danube banks, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

What to Expect on the Evening Cruise

The cruise departs from Dock 7 on Jane Haining rakpart and runs on a glass-enclosed panoramic boat, so you stay comfortable while the city lights do the work. A recorded audio guide is available in around 30 languages, and your ticket includes a drink. As you drift along the Danube, you'll pass the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, the first permanent crossing between Buda and Pest, opened in 1849. Ten bridges now span the river within the city, and the illuminated banks you're looking at were inscribed by UNESCO in 1987, alongside the Buda Castle Quarter. Current pricing and available departure times are shown on the live booking page.
