3. Danube River Cruise
Various companies operate Danube River cruises at different times. Day cruises typically run from late morning to early evening, while evening cruises allow you to witness the city lights reflecting on the water. I personally did the evening cruise and I highly recommend!
There are different prices depending on the provider you choose. There is also an option that provides unlimited prosecco! I recommend using the app GetYourGuide to book your tickets.

Combine these three experiences for a day filled with diversity and discovery. Begin your morning with the lively inhabitants of Budapest Zoo, embark on an immersive experience at Cinema Mystica in the afternoon, and conclude your day with a serene Danube River cruise as the sun sets over the city.
