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. The Danube cruise is basically a 90 minute river cruise from 7 pm to 8.30 pm (the program finishes at 9.35pm). Then right after the cruising, the river cruise program continues with watching the Fireworks show in the city center of Budapest, right on the river Danube, on board of our boat from 9 pm! Please note that no boats are allowed to move about from 9 pm to 9:30pm on the city sections of the river Danube, which is a safety precaution of the Budapest local government. So during the fireworks show the boat will not be allowed to cruise – hence our ‘tour’, meaning literally cruising on the river is only possible before the fireworks show start. But as hundreds of thousands stand by the riverbanks, you will have a VIP seat the watch the Fireworks Show from (with the fascinating program)

How much are the tickets for the Fireworks Cruise with Gypsy Music?

The tickets for the special holiday boat tour on August 20 are 145 Euros. Booking is via our online booking form (see the left side of the page). Book now to get your VIP river cruise now.

Can I have the Fireworks Cruise without the Dinner?

Our experience is that on the one hand, the tickets quickly sell out (sorry), and on the other, as the streets are very crowded because of the biggest Hungarian spectacle of the year, the Fireworks Show, it is quite hard to get from one place to another on this day around the riverbank where the annual celebrations are.

So it is pretty awkward to arrange a good dinner, then get to the river in time for a good spot for the 9 pm Fireworks. We talk from experience, but it is your Budapest holiday and your preferences, so it is up to you.

Imagine hundreds of thousands of Hungarian locals, many expats and thousands of tourists gathering on the river banks, on both sides of the river Danube to be part of this happy celebration: all along the river Danube, from the southern bridges (Rakoczi Bridge, Petofi Bridge) through the innermost city bridges, like Liberty Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge, Chain Bridge, Margaret Bridge) to the northern bridges like Arpad Bridge. The hills on the Buda side are full of hopeful and celebrating locals to enjoy the Fireworks. The streets right by the river and leading up to the river are also full. It is impossible to get through with a taxi, public transport comes to a still. The river is a VIP spot in itself – not just for its perfect position for the fireworks show, but also for its comfort from the crowds (peaceful crowds, but still lots and lots of people, easy access to a toilet if needed, etc.)

Miscellaneous Info about the Budapest Fireworks

Please note that the fireworks are by nature a noisy event, which is not recommended for toddlers and smaller children. 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).

What does the Fireworks Cruise include?

The popular Fireworks cruise with Dinner & Open Bar (drink as much as you wish) is 145Euros (90 minute cruise, dinner, live music and drinks included. Kindly note that the price is for the 2022 Budapest Fireworks cruise (each year the price is subject to change). There are only very few people in Budapest who have an up front seat to watch the most celebrated event in Hungary, Aug 20 Fireworks, and our river cruise is getting special permit on the national holiday to cruise on the river and to be positioned for great views for the fireworks.

You can book the river cruise via our online booking form. Secure your seat for the most special Hungarian river cruise in advance now. We are counting down the days till Aug 20, and are very excited to welcome you aboard.
