Train to Esztergom and Bus to Visegrád from Budapest

You get to Esztergom by train from Budapest-Nyugati station: there are direct trains every half hour and they take about 65 minutes. Esztergom station is south of the centre, about a 25-minute walk from the basilica, or a city bus. The train does not reach Visegrád on this bank: you go by bus from Budapest via Szentendre, following the Danube, or by train to Nagymaros-Visegrád, on the other bank, and then the ferry. There is also a bus between Visegrád and Esztergom. Check the timetables on the MÁV-Volán website before you leave.
