• Hungarian Open Air Museum (Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum) - The journey begins in Szentendre, where visitors can explore Hungary’s largest open-air village museum. This is an optional alternative to the Esztergom leg of the tour. Discover over 350 traditional buildings from different regions, illustrating Hungarian rural life from the 18th to mid-20th centuries. Stroll through life-sized exhibits showcasing farming techniques, folk crafts, and regional architecture, providing an intriguing insight into Hungary’s rich cultural heritage. (Closed on Mondays, and from November to March)
• Szentendre - Szentendre, Hungary, is a charming town with a rich cultural blend evident in its cobblestone streets, Baroque architecture, and lively art scene. Established by Serbs in the 17th century, it features a unique Serbian Orthodox quarter, delightful museums, and a picturesque Danube River promenade, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and culture lovers.
• Visegrád - Visegrád Castle in Hungary is a dream destination for history and nature enthusiasts. Featuring an impressive 13th-century citadel with breathtaking Danube views, this stop offers a chance to delve into Hungary’s royal history and capture stunning photos of the Danube Bend. Visitors can also enjoy a wax figure exhibit of the renowned 1335 meeting of three kings.

(Please note that between December 1 - December 23, and January 13 - February 28, the castle is open only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Between December 26 - January 12, the castle is open daily.)

• Esztergom - Overlooking Esztergom, Hungary, the Esztergom Basilica (optional) is a magnificent sight. As the largest church in the country, it features 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 serves as the seat of the Catholic Church in Hungary and offers breathtaking views and a profound connection to Hungarian history.
• Nagymaros - The return to Budapest will take place on the opposite side of the Danube, first through Slovakia, then passing through beautiful villages of Swabian German origin. A stop in Nagymaros offers a stunning view of the Visegrád Castle and the Danube Bend—a scenic spot rarely visited by tour operators.
• Verőce - The final stop of the day is in Verőce, a delightful village on the banks of the Danube River, where visitors can enjoy coffee or ice cream while admiring an intriguing riverside system of retaining walls, initially designed by the renowned Hungarian architect Miklós Ybl. This unique sight in the Hungarian part of the Danube is often overlooked by tour operators, despite its undeniable charm.

Let me take you on an unforgettable day trip to my native Danube Bend, one of the most beautiful areas of Hungary, in my comfy and safe Mitsubishi Outlander 4WD. This tour is special, as after visiting the “conventional” Szentendre, Visegrád & Esztergom trio (the latter being optional), we’ll return to Budapest on the other side of the Danube, something which very few tour guides do, despite the breathtaking views and the charming, historical villages awaiting you on that side too. If you decide to do the Esztergom leg (+1 hour drive, no extra cost), we’ll cross over to Slovakia from there and return through Nagymaros/Verőce on the other side. If you opt to spend more time in Szentendre/Visegrád instead, and make the day more leisurely, from Visegrád we’ll take a ferry to Nagymaros (an experience in itself), and return to Budapest through Verőce. The first stop, the village museum is also optional, and I’ll be flexible with timing/stops/eating as you wish.

• Total time spent at the attractions is about 7 hours - 7 hours 30 minutes, if you decide to do all of them, inluding the Open Air Museum and Esztergom. Transport time is an extra 90-120 minutes, depending on your customization.
