General presentation
Courbe du Danube et Szentendre
The Danube is a major road north of Budapest, between Szentendre, Visegrád, Esztergom, wooded hills and river excursions.
To understand what Danube Curve and Szentendre is, you have to look at Szentendre, Visegrád and Esztergom. These places give us a view of a territory marked by riverscapes, heritage, countryside and forests and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: very much requested on tour from Budapest and seasonal boats. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Hollókő, le vieux village et son environnement
Hollókő retains a core of traditional palóc houses, with white walls and wooden porches, grouped at the foot of a ruined castle. The village remains inhabited and shows a preserved rural form, particularly expressive during the costumed festivals, but also in the quiet streets and gardens.
Town or village
Szentendre
Szentendre offers a very accessible tour from Budapest, with colorful alleyways, galleries, Serbian churches and Danube docks. The city is touristic but keeps a gentle scale, pleasant out of the busiest hours.
Fortress and panorama
Visegrád
Visegrád dominates one of the most beautiful curves of the Danube since its citadel. Ascent or road access rewards with a very clear reading of the river, the hills and the old strategic role of the passage.
Heritage
Basilique d'Esztergom
The basilica of Esztergom marks the Danube border with its massive volume and views of Slovakia. It completes Szentendre and Visegrád with a more solemn stage, very legible in the landscape.
