Full-Day Itinerary
Esztergom – Hungary’s historic city
Our first stop is Esztergom, a town of great historical significance and the birthplace of Hungary’s first king, St Stephen. Explore the Esztergom Basilica, one of Europe’s largest churches, and admire its 100-meter-high dome. For spectacular photos, we’ll briefly cross the Maria Valeria Bridge into Slovakia for panoramic views of the basilica and the Danube.
Visegrád – Stunning views of the Danube Valley
Next, we visit Visegrád, home to the medieval Visegrád Castle perched on a steep hill. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Danube Bend and surrounding landscapes. Free time for photos and lunch is available (lunch not included).
Szentendre – The Artist’s Village
Finally, we explore Szentendre, famous for its baroque architecture, cobbled streets, and vibrant art scene. Your guide will show you the town’s highlights, including museums, galleries, and artisan shops. Free time allows you to visit the Szamos Marzipan Museum, the Hungarian Open Air Museum, or simply stroll along the riverbank.
Return to Budapest
After Szentendre, return to Budapest by bus, or in summer (May–September), enjoy a scenic boat cruise on the Danube. The tour ends in the city centre, providing a relaxing conclusion to your day.
