More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto Dock #11 on the Pest riverbank and the city's silhouette unfolds like a map of priorities—Parliament's lacework of spires, the squat bulk of Buda Castle, the arch of the Chain Bridge like a promise. A double-decker boat with a modest Silverline logo hums at the quay; inside, a small wood-fired oven keeps its edge, and steam from fresh-made pizza meets the river air. For sixty minutes the Danube becomes your dining room, the current ferrying the city's lights around you as if taking inventory of the evening.
