Budapest Buffet Dinner Cruise with Live Music

This Danube cruise combines two unmissable activities in Budapest: exploring its monuments and enjoying a performance of traditional Hungarian music. Once on board, you’ll be treated to dinner with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The river cruise lasts around 2 hours and will give you the chance to admire the following monuments:

• Parliament Building – An iconic neo-Gothic building housing 691 richly decorated rooms. It was built in the late 19th century to celebrate Hungary’s independence within the Austro-Hungarian Empire
• Buda Castle – An austere structure that watches over the city from the top of the hills. It currently houses the Hungarian National Gallery (known for its Romantic works), the Budapest History Museum and the National Library.
• Citadel – A military structure built at the behest of Joseph of Habsburg. Previously, an Ottoman fortress stood on the same hilltop. The Freedom Monument is also located a short distance away .
• Margaret Bridge – The capital’s second permanent bridge. The central pier provides access to Margaret Island, a green space much loved by both Budapest residents and tourists alike
• Chain Bridge – It links Buda and Pest and is particularly spectacular at night, when its illuminated silhouette is reflected in the Danube. It is flanked by four stone lions
• Liberty Bridge – Recognisable by its suspended arch and the green colour of its metalwork. It is the second oldest bridge in the Hungarian capital
• Müpa – The Palace of Arts, a cultural centre with large windows and a capacity of around 4,500 people. It is situated in the Ferencváros district, just a few metres from the Danube
• Elisabeth Bridge – Destroyed by the Germans in 1945, it was rebuilt in the 1960s. It is dedicated to Empress Sissi

Generally, the so-called Hungarian set menu begins with a seasonal salad and continues with a typical local dish, goulash. Alternatively, you can opt for paprika chicken or roast pork. Finally, the dinner concludes with strudel or another cake of your choice.

If you prefer, you can opt for the buffet dinner, where you can choose from a variety of traditional Hungarian dishes (including, of course, goulash and strudel) in a more relaxed atmosphere.
