Travel west from Budapest to the historic Pannonhalma Archabbey, one of the oldest monastic centers in Hungary and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. Founded in 996 by Prince Géza, the abbey has been home to Benedictine monks for more than a thousand years.

During a guided visit, travelers explore the Basilica, Crypt, Cloister, and Library—masterpieces of medieval Hungarian architecture that reveal the abbey’s enduring spiritual and cultural significance. A short introductory film provides insight into the daily life and traditions of the Benedictine community that continues to reside here.

From the terraces of Saint Martin Hill, enjoy panoramic views over the surrounding countryside before returning to Budapest. This excursion offers a peaceful retreat into Hungary’s religious heritage, where history, architecture, and devotion harmoniously intertwine.
