At the end of my cruise in Budapest, the best was left till
last. Here the Danube slices the through the city, separating
the ancient hillside district of the city known as Buda from
the boulevards of modern Pest. Your APT ship will moor
close to the Chain Bridge, one of eight bridges linking the
halves of this fascinating city. An inclusive APT city tour
takes in Heroes Square, a monument which celebrates a
thousand years of Hungary’s existence with a Chariot of War,
a Chariot of Peace, the Archangel Gabriel on top of a pillar,
along with statues of kings and chieftains. Also memorable
is Fisherman’s Bastion, a panoramic viewing terrace
with stunning views back across Pest and the Parliament
buildings on the banks of the Danube.
New in Budapest with APT in
2019 is an exclusive (and inclusive)
journey on the Grand Empress
Steam Train with its evocation
of the rich and romantic life of
Empress Elizabeth of Austria-
Hungary (1837-1898).

I have to add that new in Budapest with APT in 2019 is an
exclusive (and inclusive) journey on the Grand Empress
Steam Train with its evocation of the rich and romantic
life of Empress Elizabeth of Austria-Hungary (1837-1898).
This includes a welcome reception at Budapest Station’s
Royal Waiting Room, a traditional game lunch on board
and a guided tour of her beloved Godollo Palace. APT
really does think of everything!
There are of course many more unforgettable adventures
on APT’s Magnificent Europe cruise from Amsterdam to
Budapest, and topped with the luxury of the company’s
river cruise ships, its exceptional customer service and
all-inclusive amenities and tours, you are guaranteed a
holiday of a lifetime.
I have just rebooked my cruise group for 2020. Who is
going to join me?

For Bruce Blacklock, Owner Manager of helloworld Travel Mt Eden, St Heliers & Lambton Quay, the top sights along
the Rhine and Danube rivers on an APT river cruise never get old.
