Conference dinner to Visegrád:
26.06.2009
The departure time is 14:00 o’clock in front of the ELTE University, building 1/A. The buses will be identified with signs „JMMC2009”. After the arrival at approximately 14:45 - 15:00 we walk to the centre of Szentendre. Szentendre is one of the most exciting artistic villages in Hungary, only 20 kms from Budapest, in the picturesque Danube Bend region, along the Danube River. It was founded by fleeing Serbian settlers who left their homeland attacked by the Turkish armies in the 16th century. At present, Szentendre is a charming town with cobble stone streets, a dozen of art galleries and little museums, with cafes and marvellous little shops. Scheduled departure time to our next stop, Visegrád is at 16:15. The journey from Szentendre takes about 30-40 minutes. Visegrád, the former royal seat of Hungaran kings, is a lovely village in the Danube Bend. At the top of Visegrád Hill, from the ruins of King Bela IV’s medieval castle you can enjoy the fascinating view, while at the foot of the hill, King Matthias' Renaissance Castle offers a unique insight into the architecture of the age.
The highlight of the tour is the medieval tournament. Some 30 players, all members of the Budapest St.George Order and active practitioners of medieval warfare will perform an intricate medieval show. The show will last 45 minutes, after which visitors are encouraged to join in and try the various weapons for themselves. The tournament is followed by an authentic Renaissance feast in a beautiful restaurant next door, also called, Renaissance. With its interior tasteful dishes and drinks served in earthenware, the Restaurant reflects a truly medieval atmosphere. Return from Visegrád by boat at about 21:00 arriving in Budapest (Vigadó tér) at approximately 23:00. Entertainment on board will be provided by a live dance band and you will have a chance to dance.
