Visegrád

Not to be confused with Višegrad, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Visegrád is a town in Pest County, Hungary. Get in Train: Take a train from Budapest Nyugati railway station to Nagymaros–Visegrád (cca. 40-60 minutes, runs every 60 minutes [1] ; the station will be on the opposite side of the river so you need to take a 5-minute ferry ride [2] across; ferries are scheduled to train arrivals) Bus: Direct bus every hour from Budapest, Újpest Városkapu M (south side) to Visegrád (cca. 80 minutes, runs every 20-60 minutes) [3]. Boat: A more expensive (but much more picturesque) way to get to Visegrád is an excursion boat and a hydrofoil service run by Mahart [4] (both daily once, only between April and late September).
