Budapest: all candidates

Open 10/25 departs 19:40; arrive at the pier by 19:20 for ticket check; official site: Pier 5 at Vigadó tér has a 19:40 sailing every day from 10-19 to 11-02 (there are also 17:00, 18:00, 18:10, 18:30, 19:10, 19:20, 20:20, 20:30, 20:50, 21:30, 21:40); the whole trip takes 1 hour. 10-25 19:40 runs as normal. Danube Bend routes (St. Andrew etc.) are suspended from 7-13 to 10-31 because of low water; this does not affect the city night cruise

Youth ticket ages 2–14 or seniors 5,500 Ft; under 2 free

Notes The official page does not say what ID a student ticket needs; ISIC only appears among the partner logos at the bottom of the page. My own order terms (in the trip's to-do list) say only ISIC or a Hungarian student card is accepted, and otherwise you pay the fare difference plus a surcharge; this comes from the order, not from the official site.

Youth ticket ages 6–14 850 Ft; ages 0–5 free

Notes Cards only, no cash; the half-price student ticket is sold only at the window on site. The official page does not say whether ISIC is accepted, only "valid student photo ID". In October the paid hours are 9:00–19:00; after 19:00 and before 9:00 the upper level is also free (the rule for 10-01 to 05-31). 10-23 is free all day, not in the itinerary.

On the 3rd floor of the Mammut 1 mall (Lövőház u. 2-6), 5–6′ walk from Széll Kálmán tér station. On the morning of 10-26 all 4 of us boulder here (10:40–12:30, after Fisherman's Bastion and before lunch, decision D-54); before 15:00 is the cheaper rate. Whether a non-ISIC student card gets the student price has not been checked

About 46–58 minutes from the airport, about 29–31 minutes to the venue (Transitous, checked 10-20)

Checked: 2026-10-18 store (V-048)

Open Hall Mon–Sat about 09–17:15 (ticket sales time; another place on the official site says 09–18); terrace and treasury every day about 09–18:30 (another place says 09–19); the official site's opening-hours page contradicts itself: hall Mon–Sat 9:00–17:15 (ticket sales period, visits until 18:00), Sun 12:30 (or 13:00)–17:15 (or 18:00); terrace and treasury every day 9:00–18:30 (or 19:00). On 10-25 Sun the hall opens only in the afternoon (Mass in the morning); on 10-26 Mon you can enter all day. No closures noted

Youth ticket Under 18 pay the student price; free under 6

Combo ticket "All-in-one" = hall + terrace + treasury: adult 6,800 Ft, student 5,500 Ft (cheaper than buying hall + terrace separately: adults save 800 Ft, students save 500 Ft. Budapest Card holders get 20% off: all-in-one 5,400 Ft

Note The price list says the student price needs a "valid International or Hungarian Student Card", so ISIC is accepted. The price list is an image on the official site (valid from 2025-12-01); the old database did not record student prices, so this is new: with ISIC, 4 people buying the all-in-one ticket save 1,300 Ft each. On weekends the hall visit may be restricted because of weddings.
