Budapest River Cruise Port Terminal in Hungary

Vessels dock at various piers within close distance of the city centre

  • Docking Locations – Pier

    Cruise boats arriving in Budapest dock on the PEST side of the river, a few minutes away from city centre hotels. Ships tie up at Belgrad Rakpart Port (Mahart – International Passenger or Drava Street Port) usually between the Liberty (Szabadság) and Chain (Széchenyi) bridges. There are plenty of docking positions. One of the main operators is Viking River Cruises. The Viking Pier located between the Elizabeth Bridge and the Chain Bridge.

    The port and terminal of Belgrad Rakpart is in Pest and here you can step straight off your cruise ship into the heart of Budapest. River cruise boats dock at the port and terminal in Budapest all year round. From the Spring Festival, through the huge Sziget Rock Festival in August to Christmas markets in Vorosmarty Square, there is always something happening.

  • Buda on the West bank

    Budapest spans the River Danube. Many beautiful wrought-iron bridges link the two sides.

    In Buda, on the West bank, a funicular takes you up to Castle District hanging above the city. Medieval courtyards and cobbled streets make this a pleasant area to explore.

    Visit the famous Matthias Church, where Emperor Franz Josef was crowned to the strains of Liszt’s music. Climb the 700 centuries old ramparts to be rewarded with magnificent views over both the River Danube and the River Pest.

  • Pest on the East bank

    Pest, on the East bank, is more modern with a buzzing nightlife. The Vaci Utca shopping precinct is traffic free and lined with boutiques and jewellers, a great place to look for deals in souvenirs.

    The Old Jewish Quarter is here, but little remains other than the Great Synagogue, with its Hall of Heroes, Jewish Museum and the Holocaust Memorial Room. The State Opera House, elegant villas with gardens and expensive shops line Andrassy Street. Here you can enjoy a coffee in Franz Liszt Square or Heroe’s Square.

    Young children will enjoy Varosliget Park, where they can run around the lake and feed the ducks. Nearby is the famous Hungarian Circus and one of the oldest zoos in the world. Whilst in Budapest try some of the stews of Hungary, such as goulash.

    Goulash is heavily flavoured with Hungary’s national spice, paprika. For elegant coffee and torte step into Gerbeaud. This looks much the same as it did 150 years ago, with its polished wood and chandeliers.

  • Nearest Airport

    Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (IATA : BUD) is the main international airport, formerly called Budapest Ferihegy International Airport. The airport is situated approx. 10 miles or 16 km from the downtown area hotels and the cruise piers.
