Description:
Hungary’s folk music and dances are still being practiced at a high artistic level as part of its indispensable cultural tradition and heritage. One of the best ways of getting acquainted with the Hungarian experience is attending a traditional folk dance performance. Experience this from the best and most famous professional performers in the country – the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, the Danube Folk Ensemble and the Rajkó Folk Ensemble and Orchestra – are the country’s most respected dance ensembles with the longest traditions. The groups consist of 30 dancers, and about 14 folk musicians. The performances you will witness are both the famous and the less known Hungarian and gypsy dances from all areas of the country.
After the show, experience an extraordinary cruise through the contrast between the two parts of the city divided by the river Danube. Ride the high-class cruise ship to witness the UNESCO World Heritage sites on the riverfront. While on the cruise, have a sumptuous dinner by trying out great Hungarian and international dishes whether you’re a vegetarian, a gourmet or a real sweet-tooth. You may also admire the city from the open upper deck of the ship after dinner.
Every concert starts at 8:00 pm. It consists of two parts, 40-45 minutes each, with an intermission.
The 90-minute cruise with dinner starts at 10:00 pm. All ships are air-conditioned/heated and have panoramic windows. There are also open air balconies where you can freely admire the exquisite night panorama.
