Hungary travel guide

Vác is one of the stops on the very scenic day trip to the Danube Bend region. It's a pretty little village with a fine cathedral and a small castle. When they renovated the cathedral in 1994, they stumbled upon a closed vault which hold a huge number of mummies. It turned out they were from 17th century and as they were very well preserved, they gave the historians an insight into middle ages Hungary. Today some of the many mummies are on display in the museum across the square from the cathedral.

The citadel ruins is the reason why Visegrád is another popular stop on the Danube Bend day trip route. The 13-century citadel is spectacular perched high above the Danube river with splendid views over a famous bend in the river - and over neighbouring Slovakia. The village itself is rather spread out and nothing special, though there is a tint of local vacation vibe with a handful of pensions and hotels.
