The experience
A four-course candlelit dinner cruise on the Danube, with live music and Budapest’s floodlit landmarks passing outside.
The cruise departs at 7:00pm from the Legenda City Cruises dock near Elizabeth Bridge, with a welcome drink of wine, beer or champagne followed by a four-course dinner — three courses for children — served at candlelit tables while live musicians perform.
The route passes the Chain Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge, Parliament, Buda Castle, Gellért Hill and Matthias Church, all floodlit after dark — the same stretch of river as a daytime cruise, seen at night with dinner rather than a narrated commentary as the focus.
