Things to do in Fisherman's Bastion

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.

I accidentally booked the wrong time, so I contacted the organizer and had the time changed. I had to pay a 50% change fee, but it was still much cheaper than participating in a tour, so I was relieved! Being able to book on the same day is also a plus. The scenery was, needless to say, absolutely stunning!

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 .

I highly recommend everyone to take a nighttime cruise when you visit Budapest! Buy tickets on Klook and reserve your time in advance. I suggest arriving half an hour early to line up, as it gets very crowded. Make sure to go to the second floor for photos, it's absolutely beautiful!

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!

There were free guided tours every 30 minutes, offering detailed explanations. The explanations of the Jewish victims of World War II were comprehensive. There were many photos and descriptions of famous people from Hungary, which was very informative.

Experience: You can enjoy a panoramic view of the Danube River from the boat. We recommend choosing the evening session to see both the daytime and nighttime views. The boat offers additional drinks and hot food, with popcorn as the only option.

Wonderful experience. the cruise brought us to see many iconic places in Budapest. it is highly recommended.
