The journey
The boat is the slow and pretty way to reach Szentendre: you set off from central Budapest, pass under the bridges and in front of the Parliament, and go up the Danube between Óbuda Island and the Buda bank. It takes an hour and a half upriver; the return, with the current, an hour and a quarter.
Times and prices
In summer 2026 (29 June to 30 August) it left Vigadó tér at 10:30, Tuesday to Sunday, with more departures from Thursday to Sunday, and stopped at Batthyány tér. The return from Szentendre was at 17:00, with more times on some days.

In Advent, from 29 November to 27 December 2026, there is a boat on Saturdays and Sundays: it leaves Vigadó tér at 10:30, reaches Szentendre at 12:00 and returns at 15:30, in time for the Christmas market.
When the Danube is low, Mahart suspends the line: in mid-November 2026 it announced that it was not sailing. Buy your ticket in advance on its website or at the ticket office: on the morning of departure they do not guarantee a place.
