Visegrád

The small town of Visegrád lies right on the banks of the Danube and from the town there is a very beautiful view of the river's undulating path through the countryside.

The city was once a royal fortress and the royal palace, which dates back to the 15th century, has been recently renovated and is quite an impressive sight. The King Matthias Museum has an exhibition housing many archaeological finds from the area.

From Budapest it is possible to sail up the Danube, directly to Visegrád.
