Vienna to Budapest

Esztergom Basilica is the largest church in Hungary and a stunning example of Neoclassical architecture. It sits majestically above the Danube River in the historic town of Esztergom, once the royal seat and religious center of Hungary. Inside, visitors can admire the world’s largest painted altarpiece on a single canvas and the beautifully preserved Bakócz Chapel, a Renaissance gem. The basilica also houses a treasury with medieval artifacts and a crypt where archbishops are buried. Climbing to the dome rewards you with breathtaking views of the Danube Bend and even across the border into Slovakia.
