Budapest’s illumination by night dresses the city into a different costume and thus is really beautiful, still, we do not control that. Certain times the illumination can be dimmed or changed from the standard (color) scheme to commemorate certain occasions, like national days of Hungary or other countries, Earth Hour or fight against breast cancer. The view and the panorama is still unique with or without the illumination, that only provides an extra flavour to it.
Lights are turned on after sunset.
Lights are usually turned off at 11pm (DST time) or 10pm (non-DST time).
Portum Lines as a cruise operator has absolutely zero control over the illumination of the city.
