Budapest Cruise Guide

Budapest is a major starting and ending port for river cruises sailing along the Danube, Europe’s most romantic river. The Danube divides the city into two parts, older Buda on the west and Pest on the east. This Eastern European capital city is filled with friendly people, beautiful sites, and plenty of history, with interesting buildings dating from the 1896 celebration of Hungary’s millennium. It also ranks one of the world’s most walkable cities, so you can easily explore major highlights of the city, like Buda Castle and St. Stephen’s Basilica. Don’t forget to spend some time relaxing at the Széchenyi Thermal Bath – one of Budapest’s famous hot springs.
