Hungary’s spiritual capital rises above the Danube, crowned by the country’s largest basilica. Begin your visit at Esztergom Basilica, the largest church in Hungary and the seat of the Hungarian Catholic Church. Built on the site where Hungary’s first kings were crowned, it marks Esztergom’s role as one of the country’s earliest capitals. Explore the vast interior, making sure to look up at its dome, one of the largest in the world. Venture out to the surrounding terraces, taking in the panoramic views overlooking the Danube and across the border to Slovakia. Continue to the adjacent castle complex to learn more about Esztergom’s royal past, then descend into the town center to stroll quiet streets, visit cafés, and enjoy the riverside promenade below.

A colorful riverside town where art, cafés, and cobbled streets invite unhurried wandering. Your visit to Szentendre focuses on atmosphere as much as sightseeing. Explore the historic center, shaped by centuries of trade, migration, and artistic life. Today, the town is known for its galleries, handcrafted souvenirs, and inviting cafés. Walk its narrow streets, browse museums such as the Ferenczy Károly Museum, and enjoy the Mediterranean feel that sets Szentendre apart. If you’re interested in folk culture, the Hungarian Open Air Museum (Skanzen) offers reconstructed villages, churches, and workshops set in open countryside. End your time along the Danube, where the riverside paths offer calm views and a gentle close to the day.
