Description
One of the most scenic locations along the Danube is its curve in northern Hungary, an area of verdant hills and vineyards dotted with historical towns and villages. Your first stop takes you to the Esztergom Basilica—one of the largest churches in the world. Explore the adjacent treasury (optional), home to a rich ecclesiastical collection of gold and silver objects studded with sparkling jewels.
We cross the river and the border to Slovakia to have the stunning view from the opposite side. Continue to Visegrád Castle and take in spectacular views of lush hills and the curve of the river. Sit back and relax in a local restaurant and feast on a 3-course Hungarian lunch before moving on.
