Unlimited Booze Cruise on the Danube: 60-Minute Evening Sightseeing in Downtown Budapest
Select participants and date
You step aboard at Dock #11 on the Pest riverbank and the Danube takes the lead. For sixty minutes the river pushes the city past you—stone façades, lamps winking, bridges cutting silhouettes across the water—while a steady pour of beer, wine and champagne keeps hands warm and conversations easy. The boat hums, the skyline drifts, and Budapest’s monuments feel closer from the water than from any guidebook.
