You can come to Hungary with a cruiser on the Danube from this Thursday on!

Hungary has been gradually reopening the borders of the country for the past weeks. Finally, from this Thursday on, it is also possible to arrive on a ship!

As Hungary is approaching 5,5 million administered coronavirus doses, in a matter of days we can ditch masks and go freely to a restaurant, a hotel or a bath without the immunity certificate.

When it comes to travelling and tourism, the country is slowly returning to normality. On Wednesday,

Hungary re-opened its borders to six neighbouring countries. 

This means that

arriving in the Central European country on a cruiser is a possibility, once again.

The first two cruisers and boat hotels arrived that day, quoted telex.hu the words of Alexandra Szentkirályi, spokeswoman of the government, who announced the news in a Facebook video. 

At first, this might not sound like such a big deal, however, it does have huge importance.

These ships were not able to sail on the Danube due to the pandemic ever since last September,

which caused a significant loss for Hungarian tourism. Every year a high number of travellers and tourists chose the option of a ship or a cruiser to travel through or directly visit Hungary. 

Over 300 tourists are travelling onboard these two ships mentioned above. The cruise includes Mohács and Esztergom, as well, apart from Budapest.
