In the heart of eastern Europe, Hungary is a major cultural highlight on many of our Danube River cruises. Along the way, you will witness the country's distinct architecture and get a taste for the paprika-seasoned flavors of Hungary. In Budapest, you will visit the massive Baroque castle Gödöllö Palace and perhaps stroll the charming streets; other stops our cruises visit are historic Mohacs & Esztergom and the untamed grasslands of Puszta. While in Hungary, you will have opportunities to explore the cities on bike or on foot during day excursions, and you will enjoy the scenic countryside as you cruise down the Danube towards Austria, Serbia, Romania, and Slovakia.

Hungary Cruising Guide & Travel Tips

Highlights of Hungary
As you cruise along the meandering Danube River through the Hungarian countryside, a few of the major destinations you will come across include:
  • Budapest – the cultural gem and capital city of Hungary, where you'll see the Baroque Gödöllö Palace, Gellert Baths, Margaret Island, Castle Hill, and other sites.
  • Mohacs – home to over 500 years of history, including one of the most important battles in the history of central Europe.
  • Esztergom – home to the Basilica of Esztergom, which is the country's largest religious building and a hallmark in classical architecture.
  • Puszta – these expansive grasslands were like the "wild west" of Hungary during the 19th century.
While the scenic and historic beauty of Hungary is enough to make this an exciting cruise destination alone, you'll have plenty of opportunities to experience the country in more active ways, including hiking, biking, and many options for walking tours of each city and its major sites.
