Visegrád Adventure: History, Legends of Dracula & a Touch of Renaissance
Adults and older kids. Younger children are welcome with parents.
Before I became a hiking guide, I worked as a tour guide — and this time I’ll use that skill to tell beautiful stories along the way.
So this trip will have **nature, history, and even a feast** 🍗
We’ll hike up the hill, walk through the forest to the summer bobsleigh track (a fun ride with a bit of adrenaline), then continue to the fortress, where I’ll tell you about the history of Hungary and the town — and about **Dracula**, who was imprisoned here in a tower for 12 years.
After that, we’ll have lunch at the **Renaissance Restaurant** — a great place in medieval style — and finally visit the ruins of the royal palace, once considered **the most beautiful palace in all of Europe**.
We’ll go there by bus, and return by **ferry and train** — a small adventure by itself 😉
