The 13th-century castle at the top of the Danube Bend, with medieval exhibitions and the best view of the Bend · 2,800 Ft · 9:00 to 16:00 in November

What it is
The citadel, which Hungarians call Fellegvár ("castle of the clouds"), crowns a 300-metre hill right where the Danube turns south. It was built after the Mongol invasion of the 13th century and the Holy Crown of Hungary was kept in it. Inside there are exhibitions on the history of the castle, medieval weapons, the nobles' hunting and a panopticon with figures from the 1335 summit of kings. But what you come to see is the landscape: the river turning between wooded hills, with Nagymaros opposite.
