This private tour to the western part of Hungary includes a visit to the 1,000-year old Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma.
Your personal tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Budapest in the morning. After 1,5 hour drive you will arrive in Pannonhalma.
We start the tour in Pannonhalma and discover the oldest abbey of the country, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The history of Pannonhalma Archabbey, built on the holy mount of the Roman province of Pannonia by Benedictine monks, is as old as Hungary’s history itself.
You will have the opportunity to take a professional guided tour in Pannonhalma Archabbey.
In Archabbey Pannonhalma the scenic group of buildings include the sub church and cloister built in the 13th century in Romanesque and Gothic style, the monumental library with more, than 360,000 volumes, codexes and charters (including our most ancient surviving document to use the Hungarian language, the Charter of the Tihany Benedictine Abbey, dating back to 1055), the Baroque Refectory (with several examples of „trompe l’oeil”) and the Archabbey Collection (the second biggest in the country). Tour begins with a fifteen-minute film, where visitors can get an insight into the life of the Benedictine community, then continues in the basilica, the crypt, the cloisters and the library. Do not miss out on visiting the beautiful botanical and herbal garden of the abbey!
After the guided tour we take our 3 courses menu, and we return to Budapest.
