We took a tour of the Danube bend, including the cathedral town of Ezstergom (1). We crossed the Danube into Slovakia for a panoramic view of the basilica (2 and 3), which is Hungary's largest building and seat of the Hungarian archdiocese.
After lunch, complete with music, near the magnificent castle ruins of Vizegrad (4 & 5),
we explored the art colony of Szentendre, once a multicultural refuge for Slavs of many religious backgrounds who fled the Turkish empire (6, 7, 8). Around five p.m. on a blistering hot day we took a cool, breezy boat down the Danube (9) and back to Budapest.
