Budapest Danube River Candlelit Dinner Cruise with Live Music

5.Budapest Danube River Candlelit Dinner Cruise with Live Music

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,770 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $133

Review of Budapest’s 2.5-hour Danube dinner cruise with four courses, live music, candlelit views, drinks, practical tips, and value advice.

“The food is amazing, high quality. The atmosphere was warm and friendly as were the waiting staff. The windows are floor to ceiling so the views are undisturbed, the buildings and bridges are all lit up. It was not the cheapest option for an evening cruise with dinner but worth paying that extra bit for such quality.”

“This performance was a highlight of my trip to Budapest. The dance troupe was highly professional, and the male dancers, in particular, amazed us with their athletics and stamina. Costumes and music added to the visual and auditory effects. The dancers used their shoes as percussion instruments, much as flamenco artists do. Wonderful!!!”
