Our Hungary Tours at a Glance

Thermal Baths, Traditional Dances & Danube Elegance

Discover Hungary by Bike & Barge

Hungary captivates with its own distinctive rhythm, a blend of vibrant culture, wide-open landscapes and a touch of southern European flair. At the heart of every journey lies Budapest, the magnificent “Queen of the Danube”, where history and modern life merge in a truly fascinating way. From the sun deck or on a guided city tour, enjoy sweeping views of the Castle District, Fisherman’s Bastion, Parliament Building and the Chain Bridge. In the evening, when the city lights shimmer on the water, Budapest reveals perhaps its most beautiful side, during an evening cruise or a stroll through the illuminated metropolis.

Active travellers explore the region by bike, for example along the Danube Bend between Visegrád, Vác and Esztergom, where gentle hills, forests and baroque market towns line the route.

Between thermal springs and wine, traditional Csárda music and classic café culture, Hungary’s unique lifestyle becomes tangible – warm, lively and deeply rooted in tradition. A journey through Hungary is always a journey to the cultural heart of Europe, rich in colour, sound and memorable culinary moments.

Vineyards, River Landscapes & Cosmopolitan Flair

Bike & Barge in Hungary allows you to discover the country both from the river and from the saddle. Along the Danube Bend, one of Europe’s most scenic river landscapes, wide plains alternate with wooded slopes and charming baroque towns such as Vác and Esztergom. The impressive Parliament Building of Budapest rises into the skyline long before you reach the city, where a vibrant mix of history, architecture and joie de vivre awaits.

Those who wish can cycle through the artists’ town of Szentendre or simply enjoy the scenery from the sun deck. And when the lights of Budapest begin to dance across the Danube in the evening, it becomes clear why the city ranks among Europe’s most beautiful capitals. Hungary reveals itself on this journey as diverse, active, full of flavour – and always with a hint of romance.

Classic River Cruises in Hungary

Discover Hungary on a Traditional Danube Cruise

On a classic Danube river cruise, Hungary reveals its full diversity – from grand urban splendour to unspoilt natural landscapes. In Budapest, experience the city at its most impressive: the majestic Castle Hill, the iconic Parliament Building, the Chain Bridge and the elegant Danube promenade. The evening view of the illuminated city is especially atmospheric and remains one of the most unforgettable moments of the journey.

Another highlight is an excursion into the Hungarian Puszta, a seemingly endless steppe landscape where skilled horsemen demonstrate their art and Csárda music fills the air. A visit to a traditional inn introduces you to the warmth of Hungarian hospitality and the bold flavours of local cuisine – an authentic experience full of vitality and passion.

Hungary stands for indulgence and history, strong emotions and wide horizons – a destination that delights between the Danube River and the open plains alike.
