Visitors to Budapest can enjoy delightful guided tours of the Danube.
The river Danube passes through 10 countries as it meanders through central Europe. You can pick up a cruise from almost any of the cities that rise up along the banks of the Danube, from Regensburg in Germany where the first bridge over the Danube was built, to Vienna, Bratislava or Budapest.
