The church of St Elizabeth, known as the Blue Church, is an Art Nouveau building from the early twentieth century with a facade, roof and details in blue and white, on a quiet street east of the old town. Entry is free; inside, keep quiet and do not wander about during services. The facade can be seen in ten minutes and has its best light in the morning. From here it is another ten minutes to the Danube and the Eurovea shopping centre.
