Reviews
one of the highlights of our visit to budapest. make sure to take the cruise right before sunset so you get to see the views before and after it gets dark. the parliament building lit up is amazing. highly recommended!
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.
We had a fantastic time on the Danube River Evening Sightseeing Cruise in Budapest! The 7:30PM slot was perfect, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful city lights as the sun sets. It was a bit chilly, so definitely remember to bring a jacket. The drinks served included a nice selection of champagne, beer, juice and water. The champagne was a great choice for the photo ops! Using the Klook QR code made the boarding process super convenient; we simply showed it at the entrance before the boat ride. Overall, a wonderful experience that I highly recommend!
this activity is a must in Budapest. select the proper time for seeing stunning view. I select at 1800hrs (sunset time is 17:47hrs) so you can see blue sky and illumination view in both sides of river it is super!!. 🤩
Time well spent in the evening to take in the sights and sounds of Budapest via the evening cruise on the Danube. Beverages were served as you listened to the audio guide on the interesting anecdotes of the buildings along the banks of the Danube.
The cruise was lovely , views were great . The drinks were average . The staff was well mannered and polite . The boat was covered , so while it was warm inside the views were not that effective . it was informed much later that we can go on the top . The view was great from the top . ( limited seating)
As others have mentioned, there isn't much outdoor seating, so you need to arrive and queue earlier than the suggested time. I had a reservation for 8:20 PM, and I arrived to wait around 7:40-7:45 PM. I found the 8:20 PM time slot to be perfect, as you can see everything from sunset until it's completely dark. You get to experience both the unlit scenery and the illuminated views. This activity wasn't originally in my Budapest itinerary; it was a last-minute decision and purchase. After it was all over, I have to say I'm so glad I decided to go; it was truly worth it!
Very helpful staff. Because my flight was delayed 5hours from LGW. They managed to rebook the voucher in different timing. Kudos to Mr. Adam who assisted me from Klook. Well done you.
