Top sights

With its landmark, the Basilica of Esztergom, the city presents itself from its best side. The largest Catholic church in Hungary, which can be seen from afar, impresses with a size of 100 metres and a dome diameter of over 33 metres and rises above the Danube on Castle Hill. A walk down the castle hill reveals groups of baroque houses along the Danube. You can discover 250,000 volumes in the cathedral library and the home of the Catholic leader in the Primate's Palace.

MS Primadonna: tip for the stop
From here, we recommend taking a leisurely stroll across the Maria Valeria Bridge to Esztergom Basilica.

Culture & Events
The former capital is characterised by its religious and royal influences and the buildings that represent them, so you can learn about the 1000-year history of the city and its culture in the Castle Museum. There is also a great deal of interest in music and art, which is why the city organises regular events.

Culinary delights
Esztergom appreciates the local cuisine, which is served in numerous restaurants alongside international dishes. In addition to the coffee specialities served in the cafés, beer lovers can enjoy a wide variety of beer specialities in the pubs.
