Visegrád Citadel
Visegrádi Fellegvár
Danube Bend Typical visit: 1–2 hours
A medieval hilltop fortress with the classic view of the Danube Bend.
Built in the 13th century after the Mongol invasion, the citadel later served as a royal seat and for a time guarded the Holy Crown. Its walls and towers hold exhibitions, but most people come for the sweeping panorama of the river curving between the hills.
