The walk
The centre of Vác is an elongated triangular square, Március 15. tér, surrounded by Baroque houses: according to the city's tourist office, the only Baroque square of that shape in Hungary. It has a bandstand, a fountain and, at ground level, the ruins of the old church of St Michael. On one corner is the White Friars' church, above the Memento Mori crypt; on another, the Baroque town hall with the MADI museum.
From the square, Köztársaság street leads north to the triumphal arch and, south, to the cathedral. An hour is enough for the centre.
