Our Cruise on the Danube
Our cruise ship departed from the Kossuth Museum Ship at the foot of the Chain Bridge in Pest.
Kossuth Museum Ship (or Kossuth Vénhajó) a standing ship with a small exhibition about the 20th-century history of navigation in Hungary
While the ship was gliding through the greyish foams of the Danube we had a fine dinner with a glass of wine and admired the breathtaking view basking in the golden light of the setting sun. Live music enhances the romantic ambinece on cruises starting at 19.00.
The Danube river bisects the city into two different parts: the hilly and more peaceful Buda on the right side, and the buzzing Pest on the left.
Both river banks offer many sights: right at the start of your Danube cruise the graceful tower of the Matthias Church and the Fishermen's Bastion draw your eyes to historic Castle District.
Further up the building of Budapest Parliament dominates the Pest shore.
Joggers do their regular rounds on picturesque Margaret Island (Margitsziget).
At the north end of Margaret Island the ship turned and went down the river as far as the National Theatre at the Pest end of the Lágymányosi Bridge.
The fine building of the Gresham Place - today an exclusive luxury hotel - stands at the Pest end of the Chain Bridge.
The doloimit rock of the Gellért Hill towered above the water between Elizabeth Bridge (Erzsébet híd) and Liberty Bridge (Szabadság híd).
The modern-style National Theatre marked the final attraction of our excursion on the Danube.
Crown your visit to Budapest with a Cruise on the Danube which you can reserve here.
