The brilliant blue Danube, the second largest river in Europe, has inspired countless works of art from paintings to musical compositions. Nestled at its bend is Visegrád, a town teeming with history just as fascinating as the river that passes through it. Around 45 minutes from Budapest, the castle town is home to medieval wonders like the Royal Palace and Citadel.

Aside from being a picturesque little town by the river, this Hungarian gem also had a significant role to play in European history. As the hometown of King Charles I, Visegrád became the capital of Hungary during the 1300s. Charles also hosted the famous Royal Summit of 1335, which cemented an alliance between three Central European kingdoms. In 1991, politicians from Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland met at the same venue to form the Visegrád Group.

The town’s name literally translates to “cloud castle” (Fellegvár) in Hungarian, and from afar it does look like a town rising up to the heavens. The surrounding majestic terrain makes it perfect for hiking tours, and its well-preserved castle ruins can truly amaze any visitor. With Visegrád’s history of hosting royalty, visitors are sure to live in comfort the way its royals did centuries ago.
