TOP 5 attractions on MAHART CRUISES!
Everyone is familiar with the postcard-perfect views of Budapest or the Danube Bend featured on postcards and Instagram posts. If you feel like visiting these places in a different way this summer, check out our list of 5 must-see attractions that you can make even more exciting by exploring them on a MAHART Cruises boat.
5. The Parliament
Most of you have surely been in the area around the Parliament, whether as tourists or just running everyday errands. But the experience doesn’t start here. It’s on the deck of the boat, under the night sky, that you truly feel the city quiet down and tranquility wash over everything. The sight of the Parliament building illuminated at night is nothing short of magical, making the evening cruise perfect.
4. The Julianus Lookout
A boat trip isn’t just about admiring the beautiful scenery from the deck, it’s also about getting a closer look. If you’re in the mood for a little hike, our Visegrád Hop-On service, which also stops at Nagymaros, is just what you need. All you have to do is get off the boat, go for a hike, and then hop back on the next boat.
3. Umbrella Street
If you’ve ever been to Szentendre, you’ve surely walked down the street lined with umbrellas. But imagine what it would be like to arrive by boat? You won’t have to sit in traffic or search for a parking spot; instead, you can simply enjoy a delicious lunch or a refreshing ice cream in peace while strolling among the town’s beautiful buildings and umbrellas.
2. Esztergom Basilica
There is a moment that you can only fully experience from the deck of a MAHART Cruises ship. It is precisely that second when, upon reaching the Danube Bend, the view of the Basilica unfolds before you. Suddenly, above the treetops, you notice the towering dome, a sight you’ve surely never seen before. Viewed from the waters of the Danube, you truly feel just how monumental this building is; when you walk around the Basilica, you’ll immediately see it in a different light.
1. Visegrád Castle
And the undisputed top of the list can be none other than Visegrád Castle. The sight of the castle and the route leading to it are unlike anything else. Whether you’d like to admire the fortress from the deck of a boat or walk up to get a closer look at the castle walls, we can assure you that you won’t be disappointed! The view is absolutely captivating, whether you’re looking up from below or gazing down from the castle walls at the beauty of the Danube Bend.
