The famous Mária Valéria Bridge is also inside the city and can be seen from next to the Basilica in the amazing view of the Danube Bend. The middle of the bridge is the border between Hungary and Slovakia.
Visegrád
The town of Visegrád is one of the smallest and also the oldest Hungarian city. It has great historical importance because of the town’s great location. Visegrád was established in 1009 and its name is of Slavic origin, meaning high castle. The castle complex goes from the top of the Visegrád Mountain to the bottom of it and its construction lasted from 1246 until 1251. The castle of Visegrád will be our main stop in the city. We will visit the inside and the outside of the upper castle, which is on the top of the mountain and called “Fellegvár” in Hungarian. We will also see the lower castle area with the Royal Palace, which was built later in the 14th century on the shore of the Danube, as a more comfortable living area. The palace was the official residence of the kings of Hungary from the end of the 14th century until around 1405. The palace was mostly destroyed during the Ottoman attacks. The royal residence building was rebuilt and now it is open to the public and holds exhibitions in its renewed historical interiors. During our visit we will also see the unique Solomon Tower in the centre of the castle complex.
