Székesfehérvár
Located in central Hungary, about 65 km southwest of Budapest. Székesfehérvár served for centuries as the coronation city of Hungarian kings and houses the impressive Garden of Ruins, where the foundations of the former coronation basilica are preserved. The baroque city centre with its grand squares and bourgeois townhouses tells of the former importance of this venerable city. As one of Hungary's oldest cities, Székesfehérvár offers an authentic picture of Central European urban history well away from mass tourism.
