Review:
The historic city of Esztergom was formerly the capital of Hungary and is still the headquarters of the country’s Catholic Church. Established in 972AD, Esztergom is one of the oldest cities in Hungary, boasting many historic sites to excite all history and architecture enthusiasts. Various day-tours from Budapest include Esztergom in their itinerary but if you would like more time to explore the city you can travel there directly by train or hydrofoil. The main historic highlights of the city are the Esztergom Basilica (third largest church in Europe), the Royal Palace and Vizivaros (aka Watertown) which is scenically located on the banks of the Danube and is home to several Baroque churches and various ruins.
