2 Danube: Budapest, Szentendre, Fortress of Visegrad & Esztergom

Breakfast aboard the ship then celebrated Mass at Matthias Church. Explored the beautiful city of Budapest with a tour of the Buda Castle Hill, and the Fisherman’s Bastion and views of the Danube and Pest, crossed the bridge and passed by St. Stephen’s Basilica and Hungary’s ornate Parliament building. Strolled through Central Market Hall before lunch on the ship.

Visited the artists’ local village of Szentendre, home to many generations of Hungarian artists before the imposing ruined fortress of Visegrad. Visited Esztergom, the former residence of the Hungarian kings and seat of the Archbishop, and the domed basilica, built in the early 19th century

Returned to the ship in Esztergom for dinner.
