Excursion to the bend of the Danube

Landscape and history set. As we leave Budapest, we pass by the Roman ruins in Obuda. After an hour’s drive we arrive at the medieval village Visegrad. We climb the bend of the Danube above the so-called “Hill of Clouds”, with a more spectacular view of the ruins of the “Castle of Heaven”. About 30 minutes later we arrive in the ancient capital of Hungary, Esztergom, also the center of Hungarian Christianity. We cross the Danube on the Maria Valeria Bridge and arrive in Slovakia, to take advantage of the most beautiful view of Esztergom and Visegrad. We return to the “Hungarian Vatican” and visit the largest Basilica in Hungary. Inside the church of spectacular size and location we will see, among other curiosities, the Renaissance chapel and the tomb of Cardinal Mindszenty. Lunch in a typical restaurant. During the return to Budapest, we stop at Szentendre (St. Andrew), where after a walk through the old town we enter the ortho church. Here there will be the opportunity to shop.
