At Danube Bastion Port Reception (Dunai Bástya Kikötői Fogadótér), recharge with coffee, cappuccino, tea, mineral water, or soft drinks.

Health-conscious visitors, take note: AlBatrosz Allergy-Free Cake Workshop (AlBatrosz Mentes Tortaműhely) whips up cakes and sweets without gluten, lactose, dairy, eggs, or sugar. They specialize in treats for diabetics, people with food allergies, and anyone following a special diet—so dessert is never off limits.
