Private Helicopter Tour: Budapest Little Danube Bend and Esztergom Flight Including Transfers

Summary

Begin your private flightseeing tour with pickup from your hotel in Budapest at a pre-arranged time. Hop inside your private, climate-controlled vehicle, and make the journey to Budaörs Airport on the edges of the city. When you arrive, celebrate the occasion with a pre-flight glass of Champagne, meet your pilot, and relax into your sleek and comfortable helicopter, which accommodates up to three passengers. Fasten your seat belt and rise into the skies, flying first toward the River Danube that meanders through central Budapest. Peer down at the riverside landmarks such as Parliament House, and trace the course of the river north to the town of Szentendre, known for its artists' community and pretty medieval center. Swoop over this picture-perfect town and see the outlying villages clustered onto an island in the Danube. Cruise over verdant nature reserves and the wooded Pilis Mountains, and take photos as you fly above Visegrád, a historical town nestled into the Little Danube Bend — where the river almost knots itself into a loop. Learn how Visegrád was one of Hungary’s royal capitals in the Middle Ages, and absorb views of 13th-century Visegrád Castle, a ginormous fortress that crowns a hill above the Danube Bend. Continue to Esztergom, where Hungary’s first king, Stephen, was born in the 1300s. Glide over the main sights including Esztergom Castle, and the spectacularly domed Esztergom Basilica, Hungary’s biggest church. Lastly, waft over forested hills and villages back to Budapest, and land at the airstrip. Step onto land and finish your experience with a private transfer back to your hotel.
