Why visit

Visegrád is a small castle town on the Danube Bend north of Budapest, built around the ruins of King Matthias Corvinus's Renaissance summer palace and a medieval hilltop citadel. It is also where Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary founded the Visegrád Group in 1991, the alliance that still gives the town its name recognition beyond Hungary.

When to avoid

Skip Visegrád from December through February, temperatures sit below freezing and the citadel and palace ruins are an outdoor visit.
