Esztergom Basilica
Esztergomi Bazilika
Danube Bend Typical visit: 1–2 hours
Hungary's largest church, crowning Castle Hill above the Danube.
The seat of the Archbishop of Esztergom and of Hungary's Catholic Church, completed in the 19th century on the site of earlier cathedrals. Highlights include the huge dome, the Renaissance Bakócz Chapel, the crypt and the treasury; the castle museum next door recalls Esztergom's role as an early royal seat.
