Watch the Budapest Fireworks Show on 20th August from a Ship on the Danube

The Budapest Fireworks Show takes place on 20th August every year celebrating the foundation of the Hungarian state. The fireworks are one of the most awaited events of summer in Budapest and many want to have a good spot on the Danube bank to enjoy the spectacular show that starts at 21.00 in the evening.

The best spot to watch the show is from a ship on the Danube since the fireworks are launched from the Gellért hill in Buda.

We offer you a rare opportunity to follow the Budapest fireworks from the upper deck of a ship on the Danube.

What's more you can combine the event with a 1.5-hour cruise on the river where you can enjoy a delicious 4-course dinner with live music.

During the fireworks the ship will be anchored providing guests an excellent viewing point from the upper deck.
