joy1rn Posted December 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2022 What thermal baths do they go to with ship excursion? It seems pricey at $89. Can we take a taxi from ship to Szechenyi baths? Any info on other excursions on this trip appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pontac Posted December 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) You'll probably be moored by the Chain Bridge. Have you looked at Google Maps? Those baths are so near the river, about 2.5 miles you could walk it and a taxi will only take minutes (depending on traffic 🙂) The tours I've done and can recommend are the Hungarian Horsemen at Lázár Equestrian Park, and (fin Vienna - the Mozart Strauss concert. As you might guess, this question has been asked before so for a fuller answer see my post at Read my view - and see my photo - about the Horsemen here Edited December 7, 2022 by pontac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted December 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The costings for the thermal baths is well listed on line, find what the Viking excursion includes then you can attempt to compare, interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pontac Posted December 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Thanks for that, @Mitina. For @joy1rn it's just a bit further from Szechenyi Baths at 3 miles. The captain of the boat has to moor where the authorities tell him. In the 3 times I have been there with Viking its been moored close by the Chain Bridge - one time partly under - but with the huge increase in cruise companies stopping in Budapest I suppose it's a matter of where a space can be found. Fear not though, @joy1rn you'll still be only a short taxi ride away. Enjoy your cruise, @Mitina and thanks for taking the trouble.

LibertyBella Posted December 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I am going on Danube Waltz, and I am still debating the baths tour. I did read somewhere that if you go on the Viking tour a guide accompanies you, and takes care of everything at check-in and explains the process--a bit like hand-holding. I think they also give you the slippers and towels (required), or the baths will make you buy them if you do not bring if on an independent trip. I have seen some reviews that they felt the water was a bit dirty, so that is more of a concern for me. We just came back from Iceland and we enjoyed our Blue Lagoon baths experience, so I am leaning towards trying this in Budapest. Regarding Vienna Mozart concert, still debating--I do not know if I want to do three excursions in one day or not (city tour & palace first) .
