## Direct answers
- Where is the best place for a Danube cruise? Budapest for the floodlit skyline, Vienna for day trips into the Wachau valley, and either as the start of a longer cruise.
- Do I need to book a city cruise ahead? A basic daytime sightseeing cruise can often be bought on the spot. Evening, dinner and Wachau cruises should be booked in advance in the busy season.
- How long is a typical cruise? City sightseeing cruises run about an hour. The Vienna to Bratislava boat is around 75 minutes. Wachau day trips take most of a day.
- When is the season? City cruises run year-round in Budapest and Vienna, with more departures from spring to autumn. Longer river cruises mostly operate April to October, plus Christmas-market sailings.
