The great neoclassical Basilica of the Assumption, one of the largest churches in Hungary, with a viewing platform in the tower · 45 min

What it is
The Cathedral of the Assumption presides over the southern part of the centre, on an esplanade open to the Danube. The tourist office presents it as the fourth largest basilica in the country and the third great church of Vác. Its façade of Corinthian columns is the first thing you see on arriving from the station, and from the tower's viewing platform you see the river as far as the Börzsöny.
Visiting
It is ten minutes' walk from Március 15. tér along Köztársaság út. The tower's hours change with the season: ask at the tourist office on the square.
