Visegrád látnivalói

Visegrád Essentials

Visegrád served as the medieval seat of Hungarian kings, centered around the 13th-century Citadel and the Renaissance Royal Palace of King Matthias. This collection features the defensive structures of the Danube Bend, including the hexagonal Solomon Tower and Roman-era fortifications at Sibrik Hill and Gizellamajor. Beyond the ruins, the list highlights natural landmarks within the Danube-Ipoly National Park, such as the Prédikálószék and Zsitvay lookouts, which provide panoramic views of the river's distinctive U-shaped curve.
