Budapest Danube Cruise and Dinner Options, Live Music and Dance - The 90-Minute Route: Parliament, Chain Bridge, and the Buda Castle Glow

1.Budapest Danube Cruise and Dinner Options, Live Music and Dance

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7,428 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $54Our pick

Budapest Danube dinner cruise with live folk music and dance, Hungarian buffet dinner, and night views of Parliament and Buda Castle.

“Be in the line at least an hour before if you want a window table. Even then our host wanted to place us on a middle table beside buffet counter with many empty window tables so please insist on getting it. Queue up for food very early as food gets over in 10-15 mins and they take a long time to replace and sometimes refuses to replenish. Maybe better to take a normal cruise which comes at much lower rate and have dinner at a good restaurant.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 129 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes (approx.) · from $22

Watch the Rajkó Folk Ensemble perform Hungarian music and dance live in a cozy Budapest gastro cellar, with optional dinner.

“I was informed this would be in a theater with many dancers on stage and more musicians. Instead , it was a cabaret setting with 2 couples doing a few dances and a 3 musicians. The music was partly Hungarian but mostly not. The music and dancing were fine, but not what was advertised. It would not have been so disappointing if we had known what to expect. False advertising”
