Sunset River Cruise

5.004.5 Stars Overall we enjoyed this cruise and 19:30 is a good time to see the change from light to dark and all the lights come on, showing off the beautiful views along the river. The online audio guide whilst a good idea kept cutting out due to WiFi connection. Remember to bring headphones!! Also, suggest arriving earlier than advertised as you have to queue in line before the boat arrives, meaning there’s a rush to get upstairs for the best seats Also remember to grab a blanket as night time is a bit chilly
Night Cruise - MUST DO!!

5.00We did the evening river cruise (19:30). We had a nice sunset view, then it became dark and all of the buildings along the river lit up. It was beautiful. Nice boat. A “must do” experience!
Highlight of the trip in Budapest!
