Description
This medium-sized boat excursion departs from Budapest at 8:30 AM. After a scenic 3.5-hour cruise along the Danube, the boat arrives in Visegrád around 12:00 PM. Passengers have approximately five hours of free time to explore the town at their own pace before returning to the dock for embarkation at 4:50 PM. The return cruise to Budapest lasts about 2.5 hours, arriving back in the capital at 7:20 PM.

- Step into history during medieval tournaments and jousts held most Saturdays from 12:30 PM near Solomon Tower.
- Browse the Renaissance Palace fair, where local artisans demonstrate traditional Hungarian crafts and trades.
Gastronomy
- Visit the Visegrád Street Food Pavilion to try local favorites like langalló, a wood-fired flatbread with sour cream, cheese, and garlic.
- Eat like a king in Renaissance Restaurant, where you can experience medieval Hungarian cuisine. Guests are invited to become part of the experience by dressing up as kings, queens, or mighty knights during lunch, truly an unforgettable feast!
- Stop by Zugfőzde Pálinka Distillery for a tasting of handcrafted fruit brandies, paired with local cheeses and cold cuts—a perfect flavor of the region.
- Relax in one of the town’s taverns or cafés, offering hearty Hungarian meals and views of the Danube.
Nature
- Hike or take the road up to Castle Hill for panoramic views of the Danube Bend’s curves and cliffs.
- Walk among the treetops on the Canopy Trail (Lombkorona Tanösvény) just outside the town—a peaceful nature experience. (Advance registration required with the trail provider.)
