Past centuries of Hungary

Next to the majestic Basilica the Castle Museum may be worth a visit. You may learn some interesting facts from the past centuries of Hungary. Don’t go there if history bores you, but if it doesn’t you’ll enjoy a brief (or not so brief) visit...More

Interesting historical place

A pretty interesting historical museum - I learned or re-learned some things here which I already forgot since school. Also, it's just the right size - you can tour the whole place carefully in maximum two hours, so there's no fear of getting way too...More

Nothing much to see

The cost of a ticket to enter the Castle Museum is more than the ticket for the basilica tower. Yet there is nothing much to see for what you are paying for the admission. The huge basilica which is free allow you to take pictures...More

Esztergom Treasure

A delightful surprise in the village along the Danube River. Enjoyed the hilltop views, tranquil setting, and beautiful Basilica. We walked up from the town's shopping street. All free entrance.

Let the kids roam the ancient halls while you catch up on history

A great place to bring the entire family. It has as much to offer to children as it does to the history buffs. Well over a thousand years of habitation and an active archaeological site, all organized and presented in an informative and always intriguing...More

Worth the visit

It's totally worth the visit. You are not in esztergom for the bars and night life. It's part of the history of the place and a must.

Meaningful place for history

As a Turk who knows pretty much about Hungarian culture and history, it has been my dream to visit that location in order to see some pieces from my history. This castle was conquered by Turks in battle of Mohacs in 1521. In sultan Suleyman’s...More
