Visegrad

The Danube defines the setting of Visegrád — its great curve below the Visegrád Hills has shaped the town’s steep riverside form and its role on one of Hungary’s principal waterways. Above the water, the 13th-century Upper Castle dominates the ridge; built after the Mongol invasion, it later formed part of a royal fortress system. At its foot stands the Royal Palace, associated with King Matthias Corvinus and the Renaissance court of late-medieval Hungary. Visegrád belongs to the Danube Bend, where the river turns between the wooded Pilis and Börzsöny hills. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Central Hungary.
