From Budapest, travelers can set off on a boat trip to discover the small towns filled with history making up the Danube Bend. As a weekend getaway from the city, Szentendre is a quiet market town with orthodox churches mixed in the hills with colorful houses. Visegrad is where the kings once reigned with a sleepy atmosphere and magnificent palace. Facing Slovakia is Esztergom, where Catholicism was introduced and now where museums share history.
