Cruise Overview

Budapest is the capital city of Hungary and is located over the River Danube.

It is one of the largest cities in the European Union and much of its historical sites have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status.

Originally formed in 1873 by the joining of Buda, Pest and Old Buda, the city suffered heavy destruction during World War II and was rebuilt into the country's political, cultural and commercial hub it is now.

Bridges and railways connect the city over the Danube, including the six small islands situated on the river themselves.

Some of Budapest’s UNESCO World Heritage sites include Chain Bridge, Budapest Parliament, the striking Matthias church and the iconic Royal Palace visible from every location within Budapest City.

The Castle Hills district architecture represents over a thousand years of the city's history with examples of Roman, Turkish, Gothic, Renaissance and Art Nouveau styles.

Budapest also has a rich Jewish heritage and is home to the largest synagogue in Europe.

The city has an abundance of restaurants offering international cuisines, as well as traditional Hungarian dishes ,including goulash soup, a very popular lunchtime dish.

Hungarians enjoy their coffee so a traditional cafe is never hard to find.

In 2001, Vienna was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boasts magnificent architecture.

The city is home to over 27 castles and 150 palaces including the symbolic Gothic St Stephen’s Cathedral and the iconic Schönbrunn Palace.

Art and music are in abundance and all tastes are catered for.

Live music venues offer everything from Rock to Opera.

Enjoy world class performances at Vienna State Opera and experience the epicentre of international concert life at Musikverein.

Modern and historical art can be found in indoor and outdoor spaces around the city, and a visit to the famous Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) is highly recommended.

Enjoy views of the city from the Danube Tower and the Giant Ferris Wheel, then relax in the ample cosy coffee houses, cafes, bars and restaurants where traditional and international cuisines are served, as well as the locally produced wines.
