If you insist on being near the water there’s a possibility to rent a private motorboat. When you arrive in Budapest, it is worth visiting the mainland as well, as there are plenty of beautiful buildings in front of us, but a simple walk along the Danube River offers a wonderful sight too. Hills on the left (Buda), plains on the right (Pest) and 19th century architectural beauties on both sides: the Buda Castle, the Fisherman’s Bastion, the Hungarian Parliament, the domes of the St Stephen’s Cathedral, the Gresham Palace, the historical bridges and other Budapest buildings along the Danube, all make a wonderful sight and make our river cruise from Vienna to Budapest to be an unforgettable experience. Budapest is the only stop on the cruise where the river Danube flows right through the heart of the city with a dramatic sight. There you can see the former Royal Palace of Hungary, the Citadel of Visegrád and with its surrounding mountains this is Hungary’s most beautiful tourist region, which played an important role of the Hungarian history. Another spectacular view is the Danube bend, where the river is heading to Budapest destination. The trip from Vienna to Budapest by boat is truly an impressive journey.ĭuring the about 5-6 hours shipping time you are passing by Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia where the old Castle of Bratislava overlooks the Danube. Since you are not travelling on the open board, you don’t need extra clothes, though the river cruise is a real treat with many beautiful sights along the river.
These cheap cruises run every day from Vienna to Budapest. Instead, they are closed waterway vehicles, noisier than ships. Hydrofoils are not ships you cannot get on the open deck. The cheapest way to get to Budapest river way is to use the once state-owned ship company: so far only the Hungarian MAHART runs hydrofoils between Budapest and Vienna. There are several options to use the river Danube to get to and from the Hungarian capital. But if you don’t have time for such a long trip, you can choose the popular route and travel from Vienna to Budapest. There are many variations with different ports and durations of 4-16 days. The ships are usually departing from Passau (Germany), traveling to Budapest (Hungary) or to the Danube Delta (Black Sea) in Romania. The Danube is the pearl of European river shipping.
