How it Works
Tickets are valid for 1, 2 or 3 consecutive days from the first time you use it. For example, if you purchase a 2-day ticket and activate it on Monday at 3 pm, it’ll be valid until Wednesday at 3 pm. During its validity, you can hop on and off as many times as you wish.
Although when making the reservation, you'll be asked for a start date, you can use the service over the two weeks following the start date. You must validate your ticket when boarding the bus at any of its stops.
Danube River Cruise & Guided Visit
Your ticket for the tourist bus also includes a 1-hour cruise on the Danube River. Departing from pier 6, this boat trip will allow you to enjoy breathtaking views of the Parliament, the Chain Bridge and the Buda Castle. You'll also learn lots of interesting facts about the monuments thanks to the boat's audio guide.
You can also go on a guided visit, in English, around Budapest's old quarter. The guided visit lasts 1 hour, departs from the Basilica stop and finishes at Chain Bridge.
