Hop aboard Purpleliner Budapest and experience the magic of the city from its most breathtaking viewpoint – the Danube River! Our sightseeing cruise offers the ultimate way to explore Budapest’s iconic landmarks, and now with the priority boarding option, you can skip the line and start relaxing that much sooner onboard our modern ship: the Zinuru.
Unlike most river cruises that begin on the busy Pest side, Purpleliner Budapest proudly departs from the quieter, more scenic Buda side of the city. This is a unique advantage: you'll enjoy a more relaxed boarding experience, far from the crowds, while still being right in the heart of the city. It’s the perfect starting point to begin your panoramic journey along one of Europe’s most stunning urban riverscapes after visiting the Buda Castle.
Setting sail from the picturesque Buda side, right in front of the Parliament, our cruise gives you front-row views of both the historic and modern heart of the Hungarian capital. Glide past the majestic Parliament building, soak in the beauty of Buda Castle, and catch postcard-perfect views of the Chain Bridge, Gellért Hill, and the Fisherman’s Bastion – all from the comfort of our stylish boat.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or rediscovering your favorite sights, seeing Budapest from the Danube offers a fresh, unforgettable perspective. The city’s skyline is a masterpiece, and from the water, it comes alive in a way you simply can’t experience from the streets.
So, step aboard, skip the queues with priority boarding, and let Purpleliner Budapest show you the sights, the sparkle, and the soul of the city – all while you sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
