Review:

Another of Hungary’s little-known jewels, the river-side town of Vac deserves a place on your list of day trips from Budapest. The town is spread along the left bank of the famous Danube River and is filled with colorful small streets lined with picture-perfect pastel-colored buildings. You can soak up the atmosphere on the pretty (triangular) main square before visiting the fascinating Tragor Ignac Museum which is famous for its display of colorful coffins and mummies which were only recently discovered in a sealed-off crypt. Other attractions in Vac include the 1768 Bishop’s Palace, the 300 year-old Triumphal Arch and the March 15th Square, where you can learn about the factors which led to the outbreak of the 1848 revolution.
