WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Main Square (Fo ter)
this town’s marvellous main square is situated in the very heart of Szentendre. This is the point from where everything in the town begins, and it is surrounded by a selection of shops, restaurants and churches. A medieval town that was rebuilt in the 17th century, Szentendre is shrouded in history, clearly portrayed in the main square with its cobbled streets and old style buildings. For those seeking to visit and explore Szentendre, this is the place to start.
2. Szamos Marzipan Exhibition and Workshop
The Szamos Marzipan Museum is one of Szentendre’s most visited attractions. Dedicated to Matyas Szamos, the founder of the Szentendre Marzipan Factory, this museum offers visitors an insight into the wonderful world of confectionery.
3. Blagovestenska Church
Located just off of the main square, Blagovestenska Church is probably the best known of the nine churches within Szentendre. It is a Greek-Orthodox church built in the 18th century by settlers living in the town’s Greek Quarter. With its baroque-rococo design, this church is certainly something to be marvelled at. Although the church does not look very ‘eastern’ from the outside, the beautiful interior decor is breath-taking. Visitors are greeted by wooden frescoes of St Constantine and St Helene whilst the interior features a beautiful iconostase. Paintings by artist Mihailo Zivkovic are seen within the church and can appear quite daunting as the eyes follow you on your tour.
4. Vac
Baroque main square: The baroque main square of Vác is the most popular communal square in Vác. The colourful buildings surrounding the square, the hourly melody of the music pavilion in front of the Curia, the splashing fountain and the ruins of the church of St. Michael, which once stood here, take you into a special world. Sit out on the terraces of the square's pastry shops and restaurants and enjoy the sight of the baroque square in addition to the flavors! Every corner of it has wonders in store for you.
5. Vac
Danube corso: The waterfront promenades of Vác attract you with numerous programs. During the walk you can see the walls of the medieval castle of the city and the sculpture park, next to which you can even have a picnic in the grassy areas. The little ones are invited by two playgrounds, and you can also ride a bike on one of the longest corso in Hungary, with a bike path leading along it. Get to know the waterfront face of the city and enjoy the legendary panorama of the Danube in Vác!
6. Triumphal Arch
Did you know that Vác is home to the only triumphal arch of our country, which is one of the emblematic symbols of the city? The Stone Gate is a symbol of Vác, reminiscent of the Baroque period. The triumphal arch was erected in just five months in honor of the arrival of Maria Theresa, accordingly, on its decoration you can see the symbols of the ruling family. There are many interesting legends associated with the Stone Gate in Vác, and visiting the triumphal arch during a sightseeing tour of Vác is clearly a bucket list point.
7. Cathedral
Vác is a bishop's city, the center of the Diocese of Vác. The Assumption Cathedral in Vác is the fourth largest basilica in the country, which is a stunning sight due to its monumental size and inner Baroque appearance. The cathedral, built in the XVIII century, is already the third great church in the city, the first stood on the site of the medieval castle, the second on the main square. In the cathedral you can find ornaments and stones from former churches.
8. Seven Chapels
The Seven Chapels and the Grove in Vác have very special experiences, as silence, tranquility and fresh air await you here every season. The park of the grove with ancient trees, the church tower of the Seven Chapels, and the stations leading to it are stations well known to pilgrims and hikers. The lake, which promises fabulous relaxation and romantic moments, is fed by springs on the side of the Hill of the Seven Chapels. It is believed that the sources have a healing effect.
9. City Hall
Did you know that the building of the town hall is due to the city-building work of Archbishop-Bishop Kristóf Migazzi? The building on the Baroque main square, together with the other buildings on the square, acquired its present appearance on the occasion of the visit of Maria Theresa in 1764. Over the centuries, the building of the town hall has fulfilled many functions, once a Turkish bath stood in its place, later a bookstore and library also operated in it, and even for some time people who were arrested but still awaiting sentencing were detained here. In the renovated Baroque corridors of the town hall, you can see the works of the International Mobile MADI Museum.

Peter was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and flexible as we sought out experiences rather than toured.

Budapest is a beautiful city and equally charming are the sites outside of the cities.

Peter is timely and efficient. Great communication and we felt at ease traveling the day with him.

Highly recommend him for touring about.

Our guide, Peter, was knowledgeable and informative. Our driver,Chris, was excellent, always watching out for us. After a wonderful tour of Szentendre we
had to detour to Visegard instead of Voc due to ferry issues, so Peter was able to turn a potential disappointment into an even better than expected tour getting to see the Visegard Castle. He took us to a restaurant where the locals eat and it was great.
Perfect day!
