Fireworks Dinner Cruise Budapest

Fireworks Dinner Cruise Budapest

One of the most well known Danube river dinner cruises is the annual summer Budapest Fireworks Cruise scheduled for August 20, which is the oldest national holiday of Hungarians celebrated with a spectacular fireworks show (on par with a NYE show). The sparkling fireworks enlightens the unique riverbank sights in Budapest, as the cruise ship sails past the string of UNESCO Heritage attractions.

Book your Fireworks Cruise in advance as seats are limited and guaranteed to sell out.

This is the day when the city of Budapest attracts hundreds of thousands of extra visitors each year (many locals and foreigners pulled to Budapest for this single event), which means that the river side will be full of spectators (the ship offers a haven for visitors who wish to escape the hustle and bustle and also wish to make sure that entertainment and easy to access sanitary options are also available without having to mingle in the crowds).

Schedule Fireworks River Cruise & Show

Budapest Fireworks Cruise with Live Gypsy Band

Budapest Fireworks Cruise with Live Gypsy Band

The Fireworks river cruise is one of the most special and most spectacular river boat tours in Budapest.

7 pm to 8.30 pm – Cruising: The Danube cruise is basically a 90 minute river cruise from 7 pm to 8.30 pm

8.30 pm – 9pm – Ship gets to allocated place. Please note that river vehicles are to be stationary between 8.30 pm and 9.30 pm on the inner city sections of the river Danube to make sure that the Fireworks Show is carried out in safety by minimising fire hazard (the precaution of the Budapest local government). During the Fireworks Show the boat will not be allowed to cruise. Therefore the sightseeing ‘tour’ part of the programme is scheduled before the fireworks show begins. But as many a thousand spectators crowd the riverbanks, you will have a perfectly convenient seat to watch the Fireworks Show from.

9pm – 9.35 pm Fireworks Show over the Danube. Right after the ships on the Danube get to their docks / allocated places, the river cruise program continues with watching the Fireworks show in the heart of Budapest city. Bring your best camera to cherish your memories of this one of a kind summer event.

approx. 9.40pm – The program finishes

Miscellaneous Info about the Budapest Fireworks

Please note that the fireworks are by nature a noisy event, which is not recommended for toddlers, smaller children and pets. If you have sensitive ears, and you are generally hurt by firework shows, we recommend using earplugs during the event of the Budapest Fireworks.

After the Fireworks the roads and streets are full of crowds, so it will definitely take more time to get to your hotel in Budapest or to other Budapest bars to further celebrate the event.

The Hungarian Fireworks show is rich in its colours and rhythms. That said, the national symbols, like the colours of the national tricolour of the Hungarian flag get more weight in the colour scheme (the Hungarian flag is red-white-green stripes, sort of like the Italian flag, but ours is horizontally striped not vertically).
