ABOUT THE EVENT

Enjoy a very special evening with one of the best Hungarian Folk Ensembles in Budapest. You will experience a performance by either the "Hungarian State Folk Ensemble", the "Danube Folk Ensemble" or the "Rajkó Folk Ensemble". After the great show, you are invited to a Dinner & Cruise® on the Danube, with traditional Hungarian and European style food!

The ensembles have a long tradition - founded in 1951, 1957 and 1952 - and perform all around the country and abroad. Each ensemble consists of 30 artists, and their choreography is based on authentic dances. Some were collected in isolated villages and date back hundreds of years. The performances offer a broad view of the music, dance and costume heritage of Hungary and the Hungarian-inhabited areas.

With their very successful shows, the ensembles have toured throughout Hungary, Europe, North and South America, Australia and the Far East, fascinating audiences everywhere.

On the cruise, you will enjoy the romantic atmosphere of Budapest and an excellent warm dinner buffet - prepared by Hungary’s only one Gault Millau rated chefs, Klöter Gregor - surrounded by the illumination of the Danube metropolis. By romantic candlelight you can celebrate a wonderful night in Budapest.
