What To Expect

Szentendre

Szentendre is a historic town with cobblestone streets, Baroque architecture, and a lively art scene. Settled by various peoples over the centuries, it became an important center for Serbian refugees in the 17th century, who left behind a distinctive Orthodox heritage. Today, its museums, galleries, and Danube River promenade make it a favorite destination for visitors interested in culture and history.

Esztergom Basilica / Cathedral

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 visible for kilometers, 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. Esztergom Castle, next to the basilica, was the royal residence and the political and religious center of Hungary from the reign of Saint Stephen until the mid-13th century.

Devil's Mill Waterfall

Visegrad has a hidden gem: the Pilis Biosphere Reserve, a national park within the national park. It is a picturesque region characterized by its unique vegetation, meandering creeks, cascading waterfalls, and serene lakes teeming with trout. You can enjoy the unique experience of tasting freshly prepared trout, caught straight from these lakes, or game from the surrounding forests, at a cozy forest restaurant nestled among the trees (the restaurant is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but there are many other lunch options available nearby).

Museum of Christian Art (Kereszteny Muzeum)

If you are into medieval art, we can visit the Esztergom Christian Museum, Hungary's most prestigious church collection. As the nation’s third most significant painting collection—rivaling Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts and the Hungarian National Gallery—it offers an exquisite journey through centuries of European and Hungarian masterpieces. From the late medieval wonders like Thomas de Coloswar’s Calvary Altar and the Garamszentbenedek Lord's Coffin, through the Passion paintings of the most outstanding artist of late medieval Hungarian painting, known as “Master MS”, to the magnificent modern paintings, the museum’s diversity is unparalleled.
