The Danube defines the setting of Vác — the town occupies its left bank beside the northern reaches of Hungary’s Danube Bend, with riverside paths linking its centre to the water. Vác grew as an important episcopal town, and its broad main square is lined with Baroque and Neoclassical buildings. The Cathedral of the Assumption is a prominent landmark, while the town’s triumphal arch was erected for Empress Maria Theresa’s visit in 1764. The river, civic architecture and relaxed streets give Vác a distinct character within Central Hungary.
