New attraction in Budapest
Hopefully from this summer, you can decide to do the sightseeing tour a bit different than before in Budapest, Hungary.
A hungarian company called RiverRide, purchased its first amphibious coach, so the first part of the tour is the same old routine, but than the bus simply splash into the Danube and works as a boat. After the watery expedition, the bus is going to climb up the rivershore and stuck in the traffic jam 
The coach is a luxury tourist bus, normally run with gasoline, but has an additional engine, kinda like a speedboat, and the waterjet engine makes the bus as fast as a normal boat in the water.
You can save some money with the prices as well, since you have to buy only 1ticket, adults 7000HUF, children 5000HUF (HUF means hungarian forint).
