Danube Bend Flight by Private Plane from Budapest

After pickup from your Budapest hotel, travel to Budaörs Airport on the borders of the city by private, air-conditioned vehicle. Upon arrival, check in for your flight, and be served with a glass of Champagne to mark the occasion. Sip on the bubbles as you look forward to your flight, and then meet your pilot for an introduction and pre-flight safety briefing. When you’re ready, settle into the comfortable private plane, which accommodates up to three passengers. Then, buckle your seatbelt, and enjoy the first of the aerial views as you ascend into the skies above Budapest. Swoop over the city toward the River Danube, and gaze down at the riverfront landmarks along the UNESCO-listed embankments, seeing the Parliament building and Buda Castle District. Follow the winding path of the Danube northward to Szentendre, famous as an artists’ town. Admire the pretty buildings clinging to the hillside and gathered on an island in the river, and then soak in the bird’s-eye views of the lushly wooded Pilis Hills and surrounding nature reserves. Have your camera ready as you soar over Visegrád, a historical town crowned by the hilltop Visegrád Castle, and enjoy stunning views of the famous Little Danube Bend, where the river forms a neatly turning loop. Next, continue to Esztergom, a stately town important for being the birthplace and power base of Hungary’s first king, Stephen, in the 1300s. Circle above the main landmarks such as the grandiosely domed Esztergom Basilica — Hungary’s largest church — and the red-roofed hilltop turrets of Esztergom Castle. Then, turn back for Budapest, flying over deep forests and rolling hills before touching back down at Budaörs. Your flight experience then concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel.
