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!

lovely experience. Indoor pools only, they have 3 of them and 1 jacuzzi, steam room and Sauna. Lounge chairs are first come, first serve. Feels more private and less crowded. The receptionist are very accommodating and welcoming.

The tickets arrived quickly, and boarding was immediate after QR code verification. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The night view gets dark after 9 PM, so if your schedule allows, I recommend booking a later time.

I had booked a boat trip without drinks included. On board, we were offered a glass of champagne accompanied by live music. It was a wonderful added touch and made for a lovely evening.

Highly recommend this cruise around sunset where you can see the main attractions during the day and also when it’s dark enough for the buildings to be lit up. Head to the back of the boat to go upstairs for the best views.

I highly recommend this service! It took all the stress out of finding the right photo spots and timing in Budapest. The results are amazing, and the editing is truly flawless—everyone will look beautiful in their photos. I have absolutely no regrets. It's a must-book experience for anyone visiting! Thank you, Klook! ❤️

Booking this cruise was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip! Timing it for sunset was absolute perfection because I got to experience the best of both worlds: watching the city glowing in the late daylight, followed by the breathtaking view of Budapest fully illuminated at night. ​Seeing the Parliament building and the bridges light up from the water is pure magic. The whole experience was smooth, relaxing, and incredibly well-organized.

The cats are adorable, and they live right there! Although the space inside is small, there's a lot of history and stories about cats, as well as introductions to cat characters from animation. The different pronunciations of "cat" from various countries are also very interesting. The price includes a hot drink, which is a nice touch.
