Esztergom One of Hungary’s oldest cities, Esztergom impresses with its vast basilica rising above the Danube. Views stretch across the river, giving the town a grand yet peaceful presence shaped by centuries of religious and political importance. Bratislava Bratislava reveals itself through Gothic gateways, Habsburg influences and inventive modern culture. Street art, craft workshops and riverside cafés sit alongside markets and emerging Slovak wines, giving this cosy capital a distinctively creative and welcoming character. Dürnstein In the heart of the Wachau Valley, Dürnstein captures hearts with its blue-towered church and wine terraces. Hilltop ruins, tied to Richard the Lionheart’s captivity, lend a touch of epic storytelling to the pastoral magic.

Bratislava’s quirky statues surprise and delight visitors at every turn.
