May I know the Dinner Cruise & Parliament Tour package (€80 for non-EU citizens) is including the admission fee of Parliament or excluding ? Thank you.
Dear Mrs NG,
Unfortunately currently this combined Budapest tour is not available but we hope to soon resume this option (earlier it did include the admission to the Parliament building along with the cruise tickets)
Thank you for your kind patience.
In the meantime, you can book the two programmes separately, as the Parliament, situated by the Danube river bank, is open to visitors (EU and non-EU alike) on most of the days throughout the year. Likewise, cruises of various kinds are daily running on the river Danube (some with some without audio commentary, some with drinks or with dinner and live music)
