About this activity
Explore three of Hungary's most picturesque riverside towns in a single day: the spiritual heart of Esztergom with its stunning cathedral, the medieval hilltop fortress of Visegrád with panoramic Danube views, and the charming artist village of Szentendre. This comprehensive tour includes a three-course lunch with drinks and a scenic boat cruise back to Budapest.
Esztergom: The centre of the Catholic Church. Let's make an interior visit in the largest cathedral of Hungary.
Visegrád: We drive up to the top of the hill to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the Danube valley. During some free time the main attractions of the town, the medieval fortress can be visited. Then a 3-course menu lunch with drinks is included in a typical restaurant with a unique panorama.
We drive on to the artist's village of Szentendre. After getting around the baroque settlement have a great walk on the lovely narrow streets reaching the Danube. During some free time here you have the possibility to visit some museums or to do some souvenir shopping.
At the return, enjoy a boat cruise from Szentendre ( 30 April - 30 September every year except Mondays.)
The tour ends at your hotel.
