A small but amazing country with an interesting, dramatic history occupies an unusually picturesque territory, with a diverse landscape, a generous wealth of nature and extraordinary musicality. One of the greatest rivers in Europe flows through Hungary – the Danube, where all Hungarian rivers flow. Being in the Hungarian capital Budapest, you can make day trips from it to interesting places in Hungary and neighboring states. So, we’ll tell you where you can go from Budapest for 1 day on your own.

Eger

130 km from Budapest is the old town of Eger, which allows you to plunge into the ancient history of the country with its authentic look. Now Eger has become a place of tourist pilgrimage, thanks to the presence of famous baths, a developed winemaking culture and an abundance of rare sights. To make a vivid idea of this wonderful corner of the country, you should see the following attractions:

Eger Castle – a kind of monument to the heroic history associated with the invasion of the Mongols (1241 g) and the Turks (1552 g). Now the castle, which is a museum, looks very picturesque, a tour of it – an insight into the glorious past of an amazing country.

Eger Basilica is a Catholic church whose beautiful building is built in the neoclassical style, officially named after St. John the Apostle and Evangelist and today is the cathedral of Eger. Visiting a church leaves a deep impression.

The valley of beauties, famous for its wine cellars and wonderful local wines – a beautiful suburb of Eger – a real paradise for wine lovers and just tourists. Here they are treated to the best varieties of wine with delicious national dishes in a romantic setting created by the performances of virtuoso musicians performing exciting gypsy melodies. It is assumed that the name of the place was due to the arrival of many beautiful women here.

The minaret church, located on the central square of Istvan Dobo, captivates with its magnificent baroque beauty, both external and internal. On 2 bell towers (minarets), the clock is beaten 3 times a day, the frescoes (16th century) and the amazing sculpture of st. Anthony.

Aggtelek National Park

The extraordinary beauty and amazing natural design of the caves attracts a huge number of tourists, among whom there are many cavers, both professionals and amateurs. The reserve is a real treasure for archaeologists who are convinced that the mysterious caves served as a dwelling for 7 thousand years. Now a sanatorium has been opened here, where, based on a special microclimate, diseases of the respiratory system are treated. And the unique views of the reserve, the ethereal fabulousness of the caves give peace of mind and joyful delight.

Esztergom and Maria Valeria Bridge

A small ancient town, which saw within its borders both Celts, Romans, and Germans, can be called a historical Stoic. The city, which survived the barbaric destruction and ruin by the Turks, fascists, rose from the ashes, like the Phoenix, and now is a symbol of the great history of the state, embodied in architectural and religious monuments. Here was born the first of the Hungarian kings, Istvan, who became a saint after life (his appearance is immortalized in a majestic monument).

The main one is the Basilica of St. Adalberta is a colossal structure (height 71.5 m, width 40 m, length 118 m), visible from afar. The majestic temple was built on the site consecrated by previous churches and is the third shrine of Europe, striking in its scale, the beauty of architecture and spiritual fullness. Below, in the script lies the ashes of great historical figures, in the treasury are stored old church items, vestments of priests – valuable rarities.

Like Esztergon himself, the bridge, named after the daughter of the Hungarian emperor Franz Joseph, is a symbol of resilience. Built in 1895, it was destroyed 2 times (1920, 1945) and restored again. The 500-meter-long ribbon of the bridge, picturesquely spread over the majestic Danube, connects Esztergon with the Slovak city of Sturovo (a very convenient crossing). A visit to the Archbishop’s Palace, a magnificent neoclassical-style building, will enrich spiritually and aesthetically. The expositions of the Christian Museum will conquer with richness and variety of works of Hungarian art, canvases of Italian Renaissance painting and other unique exhibits.

Szekesfehervar

The main city cathedral Istvan (Baroque style) amazes with its rich decoration and outstanding works of great masters that adorn the interiors of the church. Nearby are 2 more churches, which are also worth a look.

The elements of Romanesque, Gothic and Scottish castle styles are intricately intertwined in it. The castle can be admired endlessly.

Szentendre + Vysehrad

He impressed everyone with his irresistibly beautiful view and was considered the most luxurious in Europe. Now the restoration of the palace continues as a priceless cultural and historical monument.

Gödöllö

The town of Gödöllё is especially interesting for visiting because it houses a magnificent royal palace with a cozy park adjoining it, along which Empress Elizabeth, the wife of Franz Joseph, once beloved by the Hungarians, was walking. In her honor, there is a graceful sculpture of a slender, full of noble grace of a girl under an umbrella, proudly looking at a magnificent estate; her name is called the park. Inspection of the inner chambers of the palace is a breathtaking tour of the halls and bedrooms of the imperial persons, shining with the dazzling beauty of the interiors, elegant stucco molding and other decorations.

The monastery library, where a collection (360 thousand volumes) of books is stored, among which are the most valuable tomes, is amazingly large in book collections. A visit to the abbey is an amazing immersion in the great and dramatic history of the Hungarian state.

Lake Balaton

It is unlikely that there will be at least one tourist who has not visited the famous lake while traveling in Hungary. Balaton is not inferior to Baikal in fame, although it is much smaller than it. Lace of romantic legends is woven around a unique lake, which was still popular among the ancient Romans because of its natural wealth and amazing landscape beauty.

In it you can see ancient craters, asleep volcanoes, beating fountains of geysers. Here, even the air has healing power, so they come here to treat the respiratory system.

Koshuta interesting objects – Town Hall, Synagogue; on Domsky square – Romanesque Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul. For 1 day it is impossible to inspect all the monuments, which are abundant here.

Bratislava

A huge number of restored architectural monuments of the Middle Ages, churches, squares made Bratislava a popular destination for tourists around the world.

The most exciting, unforgettable experience will remain from a trip to the beautiful Bratislava.

Zagreb

The Croatian Zagreb attracts tourists with its special flavor, unique charm of individual places and the calm beauty of streets, buildings, squares. Tourists note the extraordinary cleanliness of the sidewalks, on which you will not see an abandoned cigarette butt or a plastic bottle – the inhabitants of Zagreb love their city. Here, where many styles are intertwined in architecture, there is something to see, and it can take several days to inspect.

A one-day voyage around Zagreb is worth spending in the most atmospheric district of Dolniy Grad, which reflected the historical and Catholic past, cultural development and current trends of Croatia. Ban Josip Jelacic’s square (a monument was erected for him), surrounded by picturesque buildings, is the city’s busiest place. Young people make an appointment here, tourists gather, parents walk with their children, concerts are held in the evenings, where street musicians compete in the virtuosity of performing various melodies.

At the local restaurant or bar (there are a great many of them) you can taste national snacks and dishes. At the farmers’ market (adjacent to the square) there is a bright abundance of vegetables, fruits, cheeses. As a symbol of the country’s agrarian nature, at the entrance to the “fruit and vegetable paradise”, a non-feminine powerful sculpture of a collective farmer with a huge basket on her head greets everyone – the personification of painstaking labor and the bounty of the earth. The Catholic Zagreb Cathedral, which underwent a complete reconstruction after the 1988 earthquake, is unusually beautiful. The huge glass monolith of the Dubrovnik hotel in the Art Nouveau style is of interest. From visiting Zagreb – only pleasant memories!

The best way to explore the archipelago is by chartering your own sailboat. That way you can spend as many days as you want hopping from one island to the other, sampling delicious seafood at local konoba, and swimming in the clear Adriatic waters.

If your budget doesn’t stretch that far, you can always join a group boat tour from Zadar. Either way, it’s a great, uncrowded place to add to your national parks checklist.
