Things to do in Budapest

Tickets are completely sold out for popular times on weekdays, so be sure to buy them online in advance! The tour includes a glass of red wine/champagne/beer or cola. The recent sunset time is around 6:15 PM, and I bought a ticket for the 6:20 PM boat. You can arrive early, around 6:00 PM, to rest in the lounge next to the pier, so you don't have to stand outside in the cold wind. Arrive early to board early and choose your seat. The lounge also has a boat company-exclusive restroom, so you don't need to use the portable toilets on the pier. The 6:20 PM boat arrives in front of the Parliament Building just as it gets completely dark (around 7:00 PM), so you can watch from sunset until it gets dark. I sat in the first row on the left side of the boat, which was a perfect spot. Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion are both on the left side when it's dark. Only on the outbound trip to the Parliament Building do you need to stand up, walk to the right side to take a photo, and then come back. On the return, the left side will also face the Parliament Building, but the boat will be farther away, so the photos won't be as beautiful. That's all I have to share.

It was definitely worth it. It was easy to find the pick up point. The drop point was also the same. Connectivity of transport is good. The view of the illuminated Parliament house is absolutely amazing. We crossed all the bridges and came back. Carry your earphones with you .

great atmosphere and live music! the performas was fun and friendly. just don’t forget to go out and capture Parliament light up!

highly recommended to do when visiting Budapest. do it on sunset so you will get a nice pictures of the place.

After arriving at 6:30, we waited in the waiting area for boarding and started getting on the boat around 6:45. It was a full house that night, but the service was okay, with enough staff. After boarding, there was a welcome drink, followed by a 4-course meal, including an appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert. The food quality was decent, not amazing, but the experience was 100%. The boat has transparent glass, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and the night view is 100%! There was also a live band singing, the atmosphere was on point!

it’s very huge place but too many people. I went on a weekday but still there are too many people. the indoor pool are small so it’s crowded.

Amir was an outstanding tour guide. He drove safely and skillfully, shared interesting insights about the castles we visited, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the trip. He truly deserves a raise for his excellent service.

Had a special experience! My ticket was for Zone 2, but since I was the first one there, I was able to get a seat with a pretty good view. Looking back on the way out, it was quite crowded, so I'd recommend getting there early. Showing my Klook voucher at the reception before the scheduled time made the redemption process quick and smooth. I'd never been to an organ concert in a church before, so it was very beautiful and a memorable experience! Highly recommended.

We took a boat cruise and the 48-hour hop-on, hop-off tour, which was highly recommended in Budapest. To explore Budapest, we stopped frequently. Fantastic experience!
