Esztergom Basilica Excursion

Today's destination is Esztergom, the former Gran was once the capital of Hungary. According to legend, the first Hungarian king and founder of the state Stephen I saw the light of day here. Once the first royal residence and today the seat of the head of the Catholic Church, the Bishop of Esztergom, the city has a great importance in the Hungarian consciousness. The cityscape is dominated by the neo-classical cathedral high above the city, which was dedicated to St. Stephen and, with 8,000 seats, is the largest church in Hungary. A small train takes you from the landing stage directly up to the impressive basilica. During the walk around the basilica you will enjoy a panoramic view of the Danube and the opposite Slovak Sturovo, before it goes by the little train through the city back to the ship.
