- Dock #11 Szatta - The national fireworks display begins at 9 p.m. in the heart of Hungary’s capital and lasts for about 30 minutes. These vibrant pyrotechnics are primarily launched from Gellért Hill, but you can also view them from floating river cruises and from the streets adjacent to the riverbank. Thousands of people gather along the Danube throughout the day, soaking in the festive atmosphere and eagerly awaiting the evening show.
We offer a special event on this day: a unique Firework Dinner Cruise. This exclusive dinner cruise, available only once a year, features a delectable 4-course menu and the opportunity to watch the renowned fireworks from a prime location on the river.

St. Stephen’s Day is one of the most important national holidays in Hungary. King St. Stephen, who was canonized on August 20, 1083 by Pope Gregory VII, was the first monarch of Hungary. This day became an annual celebration in 1771 with the help of Maria Theresa, who designated it as a national state and church holiday. Since then, Hungarians celebrate on August 20th with day-long festivities, creative programs, and fireworks.
Our boat offers one the best ways to experience this Hungarian holiday. You will spend 4,5 hours on our Catamaran boat, while enjoying a delicious 4-course dinner. Enjoy live entertainment and an excellent view in the city to see the fireworks in the center of the Hungarian capital, all while avoiding the huge crowds. The colorful display is centered around Gellért Hill, but you can see them from a unique spot, directly on the river.
