Budapest’s romantic dinner cruise is back from late spring to early fall, serving classic Hungarian flavors with a front-row view of the Danube skyline. The 90-minute dinner cruise departs every Friday at 7:30 p.m. from 5 Vigadó Square (Vigadó tér 5), sailing past the Hungarian Parliament Building and Buda Castle as the city lights up. Guests are welcomed with a chilled drink, then tuck into a bowl of goulash soup and a tray of traditional strudel selections. Think comfort food, a breeze on deck, and cameras out for golden hour shots.
