Description

Discover the beautiful Danube Bend on a private day trip from Budapest! Visit the charming villages of Szentendre, Visegrád, and Esztergom, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Danube River. Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Budapest. After passing by the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Acquincum, continue to the charming town of Szentendre, a picturesque artsy gem with a true Mediterranean touch. Explore the town's narrow streets and colorful houses, including the popular 'Umbrella Street'. Visit the local shops and galleries, including the famous Szamos Marcipan Manifacture and Museum, where sweet dreams come to life! Next, head to Visegrád, a small town with a rich history. Visit the town's medieval castle and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of the Danube River (the famous Danube Bend panorama). (Please note that between January 12 and February 28, the castle is only open on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays) Visegrád’s hidden gem, the Pilis Biosphere Reserve, offers unique vegetation, meandering creeks, cascading waterfalls, and trout-filled lakes. You can taste freshly caught trout or local game at a cozy forest restaurant (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays), with other lunch spots nearby. Towering over Esztergom, Hungary, the Esztergom Basilica is a sight to behold. As the largest church in the country, it boasts a grand neoclassical design, a massive dome (one of the biggest in the world), and a rich history. Built on the site of earlier churches dating back to King Stephen I, it's the seat of the Catholic Church in Hungary and offers stunning views and a deep connection to Hungarian history. Next to the Basilica, you can admire the Royal Castle, from where the Hungarian kings ruled the kingdom from the time of Stephen until the mid-13th century. From Esztergom, we will cross to Slovakia (there's no border control, but have some kind of ID on you just in case), take great photos of the Esztergom Basilica and Castle with the Danube from the other side, before returning to Budapest.
