This isn't just "old jewelry." The Holy Crown of Hungary has a history more dramatic than a Netflix series—it’s been stolen, buried, lost, and returned by the U.S. government. You will stand in the massive, 27-meter-high Dome Hall, watched over by stoic guards with drawn sabers, to see the crown and its tilted cross up close. It’s the symbolic heart of the nation. You’ll ascend the Grand Stairway, a space so opulent it makes most European palaces look like a DIY renovation. Imagine walking past massive granite columns—of which only 12 exist in the entire world—under ceilings painted by Károly Lotz. Every inch of the walls is covered in gold leaf and intricate frescoes that tell the story of a thousand-year-old kingdom. f you are between 6-24 and have a valid Student Card you can choose the Youth tickets type

Budapest Food Tour: Market to Tavern with 12+ Tasters & Wines

Sandi_S, Aug 2026

Wonderful tour!

So glad we didn’t eat breakfast before we went on the tour. What a wonderful way to experience Hungarian cuisine! The guide gave us great insights into the history of the food and the culture. Highly recommend taking the 11:30am tour so you get to experience the market place!

Budapest Paddle Steamer Danube Cruise with Tokaj & Audio Guide

Julie_S, Aug 2026

Stunning

We took the 10pm trip and it was absolutely stunning. There are so many river cruises to choose from but the paddle steamer gave us plenty of time to take photos of the stunning buildings, whereas some of the more ‘modern’ boats looked like they were moving pretty quick. The boat, the staff and the experience were outstanding. Highly recommended.

Budapest Sip and Sail Danube Cruise with Unlimited Prosecco

Thomas_W, Aug 2026

A great way to either start or end end your visit in Budapest.

Overall, would very much recommend this cruise! A perfect amount of time for a night cruise and you were able to see all of the beautiful sites that Budapest has to offer. The boarding process was efficient and our champagne glasses were never empty. A great time was had by all of us and the experience was well worth it and memorable.

A lovely day out in the countryside around Budapest on a small-group wine tour with friends I’d met along the way. A really friendly and informative guide, beautiful relaxed wineries, fabulous wines, and gorgeous settings — such a nice change of pace and a great way to escape the city for the day.

Constant Refills and Terrific Views

It was a great time! Lots of prosecco that kept being refilled. Going at night to see parliament was lovely. And, it was great being able to talk to others. Not a lot of wiggle room, it's a full deck! But, you're seated the entire time essentially with staff consistently refilling your glass. Cheers!

Budapest Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Unlimited Drinks

John_L, Aug 2026

5 stars is not high enough for this experience.

This is a new ship that offers air conditioning or open air dining. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food offered is an excellent array of choices and the music is such that almost everyone would enjoy. Ours was a violinist who did contemporary hit music from the 70s on. It was an perfect way to finish off our time in Budapest

Susan_W, Aug 2026

Wonderful dinner cruise w great entertainment!

There is no need to upgrade for the window view. You can see well no matter where you are once the boat leaves. Lots of opportunities for memory-making photos. The entertainment includes musicians (cimbalom, violin and cello), a singer, and four dancers. Had a great time! We didn't have kids but kid friendly.

Budapest Danube River Candlelit Dinner Cruise with Live Music

Keith_T, Aug 2026

Absolutely top notch dinner cruise!

From start to finish, just the perfect dinner cruise. Where to start? The boat is amazing, completely open sides and overhead. The seats, table and glasses all feel like a great lounge restaurant. Then the food and drink. So many choices on the set menu that we struggled to decide. They all sound amazing, look beautiful and tasted outstanding. The wine was also great and served in lovely glasses. Last but by no means least, the staff were helpful and attentive in a head-spinning array of languages. No problems getting help or another glass when needed. The music, well this I could take or leave and occasionally it was a little loud for conversation but these are minor matters of taste. Genuinely impressed by Legenda, looking at the other cruises operating on the Danube they’re clearly head and shoulders above anything else on the water. If you’re on the fence about booking then I’d say spend the money and enjoy it, dinner cruises don’t get much better than what Legenda has put together here.

Budapest Small-Group Guided Tour on MonsteRoller e-Scooter

Rainer_S, Aug 2026

You can walk Budapest. Or...

You can walk Budapest. Or you can ride it – and see far more of the city in far less time. We booked the 3-hour All-In MonsteRoller tour. What won me over wasn't just the fun of riding – that part is guaranteed anyway – but how well the whole thing is run. Check-in and the safety briefing were professional and refreshingly straightforward, even for people who have never stood on one of these before. The rollers themselves were in excellent technical condition, with no issues at all over the full distance. Our guide Balint turned a scooter ride into a proper city tour. He explains every landmark with real background knowledge and drops in dry, well-timed humour along the way. Never preachy, never boring – exactly the right balance. With eight people, the group size was ideal: small enough that nobody gets left behind and every question gets answered. You can see Budapest from plenty of viewpoints. But you rarely see this much of the city in three hours – and you rarely have someone explain it as well as Balint does.

The boat was beautiful,...

The boat was beautiful, clean, and very well maintained, making the entire experience enjoyable and relaxing. The boat staff were exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive, always ensuring that everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. Their warm hospitality, excellent service, and positive attitude made the trip even more memorable. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a pleasant and enjoyable boat tour.

Budapest Danube Cruise and Dinner Options, Live Music and Dance

Chris_C, Jul 2026

Best Experience at Budapest

Our dinner cruise on the Danube was more than outstanding. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant, well organized, and truly special. The customer service from the waitresses was excellent: they were attentive, kind, professional, and made the entire evening feel warm and memorable. The live music was spectacular, starting with the famous Hungarian dance, which immediately created an authentic and exciting atmosphere. The Hungarian-style dancers were fantastic and added so much energy and tradition to the experience. We were also very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Hungarian wines included in the tasting; each one paired beautifully with the food and made us appreciate local wine even more. A very special thank you to the team for celebrating Danny’s birthday with a beautiful “Happy Birthday” played on the violin. It was a magical moment we will always remember. Highly recommended!
