Esztergom

Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover

Stop: 3 h 30 min - admission not included

Visitors approaching from the direction of the Danube are greeted with the sight of the spectacular Esztergom Basilica rising high above the town from the hilltop overlooking the city. The vision of the reflection of the Basilica in the waters of the Danube is an experience that visitors never forget as they approach the largest church in Hungary and the third largest in Europe. The colossal dome measures over 230 feet high and can be seen from miles around. The interior is no less impressive, housing the richest ecclesiastical collection in Hungary and the red and white marble Bakócz Chapel with its Italian Renaissance stone-carving and sculptures. For the more venturesome, the 400 stone steps leading up to the cupola at the top of the building are well worth the climb to check out the dazzling views over a city steeped in history with its baroque churches, medieval fortresses, city walls, and Turkish bastions from bygone eras. PLEASE NOTE: The Basilica is under heavy reconstruction until late autumn 2025, and all features may not be visible.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.
