Szentendre is the largest settlement of the Danube Bend, located north of Budapest on the eastern side of the Danube. The quiet town is well-known as the city of arts and museums. The town hosts the famous Open Folklore Museum also called Skander and 16 other museums which present the rich arts and cultural life of the city.

 
For two months, from the end of June until the end of August, it offers programmes in nearly every branch of art to visitors and locals alike: classical, contemporary and light comedies, operetta, contemporary dance as well as pantomime, including three premieres. During the festival the streets, squares, churches and yards of the town come alive with theatre performances, concerts, films, exhibitions, as well as various programmes for children and events that showcase traditions.  
 
The programme of the Szentendre Summer Festival is taking place at several locations, like the courtyard of the town hall and the ArtMill amongst others usually at the end of August. Besides exhibitions, during the summer the old mill houses concerts, theatre performances and festival programmes as well. As during the past 30 years, performances of the Szentendre Theatre will take centre stage, presenting diverse programmes from virtually every genre, from opera to prose.
   

Visegrád - Central Europe´s largest Mediaeveal Castle Keep
The stretch of the river known as the Danube Bend is one of the most attractive parts of all Hungary. The river follows the form of a double “S” shape, which it carved out for itself between the hills after the last Ice Age. The town of Visegrád is in the most picturesque part. The town’s principal monuments are the thirteenth century citadel perched high on the hill and the fourteenth century royal palace at the bottom. Their golden age was the time of the Renaissance King, Matthias, noted for his discerning taste. He added terraces, a grand courtyard, a red marble ornamental well and baths. 

Esztergom - with the largest Hungarian Church
Esztergom is located 60 km North of Budapest, about one hour drive by car or you also may take the hydrofoil at Vigado ter Square in Budapest in the summer.

This town is situated on the banks of the Danube tend to show their best faces to those approaching by boat. At Esztergom, Hungary’s ecclesiastical centre and seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop, the Basilica and the walls of the ancient castle rise imposingly on the Danube’s right bank. The Basilica, as well as being Hungary’s largest church, is noteworthy for its remarkable altarpiece depicting the Assumption, which is the largest single-canvas oil-painted altarpiece in the world.
   
The church’s stately interior contains Hungary’s finest complete Renaissance monument, the Bakócz Chapel, built from red marble in the early 1500’s. The Cathedral Treasury is the richest in Hungary. In the nearby Bishop’s Palace is a Christian Museum noted for its valuable collection of fine arts.
   
The first fortress was built on Castle Hill in 972, and it was here that the founder of the Hungarian State and Church, King Saint Stephen, was born, earning the town’s epithet “Cradle of Hungary”. The twelfth century castle chapel and one of the symbols of Esztergom, the rose window, vividly recall the importance of the former palace building.
