Danube River Dinner Cruise.
Dinner Cruise along the River Danube.
3rd May 2024.
Many of the finest attractions by the river Danube are located in Budapest, whose riverside sights are on the UNESCO World Heritage list. A Danube River Cruise can be a perfect opportunity to discover all these beautiful sights.
THE RIVER DANUBE: The river Danube is Europe’s 2nd longest river, it runs through 10 countries (and 4 capitals) from the Black Forest (Germany) to the Black Sea (Romania and Ukraine). The approx. 350m wide river divides the city of Budapest into 2 parts: hilly Buda (west) and flat Pest (east). This beautiful river inspired several artists, painters, musicians, poets: probably the most known piece is the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss.
CHAIN BRIDGE: The Szechenyi Chain Bridge was the first permanent bridge of Budapest opened in the mid 19th century, named after the “Greatest Hungarian” Count Szechenyi. Little is it knows that most of the bridge was build from a Greek merchant’s money who had many vested interests in Budapest. The builders? The English Clark engineers.
Buda Castle & Hill
BUDA CASTLE HILL: The Castle District (also the District I in Budapest) is located up on the Buda Castle Hill, and it’s famous for the medieval, baroque and 19th century houses, churches and cobble-stoned streets. Buda Castle was built on the southern tip of the Hill in the 13th century, lost in the siege of 1541 to the Turks who transformed the Castle Hill into a Turkish town, then regained in 1686 by the Austrians to turn it into a German speaking town. The Hill has many hidden treasures, from nuclear bomb shelters to labyrinths, and a Spy Museum. Book a Buda Castle Tour to learn more. The Buda Castle has been an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT: The Hungarian Parliament is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Budapest: the tiny Hungarian country has the 3rd largest parliament in the whole world (true, the country used to be bigger during the Austro-Hungarian empire). The imposing Gothic Revival style building is the largest building in Hungary, now part of the UNESCO World Heritage. After the union of Buda and Pest towns in 1873, now known as BudaPest, an international competition was announced to build a suitable home for the new Hungarian government. Two other buildings were emerged as competitors (still standing as the Ethnographic Museum and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture), but finally the current Parliament design won. Unfortunately, its architect didn’t have the chance to see his creation in real, as he went blind before the building became finished. The Hungarian Coronation Jewels are kept in the Parliament, which is available for tourists via guided tours.
BRC
ELISABETH BRIDGE: The 290m long white suspension bridge is a popular bridge of Budapest, re-built in modern style after the massive WWII destruction of the Nazi troops. The original Elizabeth Bridge built in 1903, was named after Sissi, aka Elisabeth of Bavaria, the beloved queen of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, who loved the Hungarians dearly, and the peoples of the Hungarian Kingdom equally cherished her memory in various statues, buildings, streets, and with her own bridge. In 2009 the bridge has received its special night illuminations. Half of its costs were covered by Japan as the celebration of 140 year long cooperation between the Japanese and Hungarian governments. The Bridge is in the vicinity of 3 thermal baths in Budapest, so during winter days, the thermal waters need to be pumped on a daily basis to avoid the corrosion of the metal structure.
