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.”
