Then we drive to Visegrad, it is to the north from Szentendre. Visegrád is a small town in Pest County in Hungary. Situated 40 miles north of Budapest on the right bank of the Danube in the Danube Bend Visegrád during the Mongol invasion was the capital of Hungary. King Mátyás ruled from the castle which is situated on the side of the mountain overlooking the Danube bend.

  The Visegrad Castle on the top of the hills used to be residence of the Hungarian kings and it has very interesting exhibitions: we will see the copy of the royal crown, a panopticum bringing back the medieval ages. From here you have the most beautiful view of the Danube Bend. We will visit King Matthias' Renaissance Palace which was under the earth for a long time. It is really fascinating to see the reconstructions, the broken original marble fountains and their replicas. Good opportunity to have lunch in a Renaissance restaurant or in a hunters' restaurant.
