\"Veszpr\u00e9m<\/a><\/p>\n

I have visited Veszpr\u00e9m a couple of times but very briefly, just to take pictures of the animals living in the Veszpr\u00e9m Zoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My timing wasn’t very good, because I went site seeing inside the city in the evening and it was getting dark so taking pictures wasn’t easy.<\/p>\n\"Dubniczay<\/a>\n

The city features various historical buildings with nice looking architecture, including several churches.<\/p>\n\"Dubniczay<\/a>\n

There is also a medieval castle.

The castle is kept in a very good shape, it features several statues and various old buildings mostly kept as historically accurate as possible.

The Veszpr\u00e9m Castle features some of its original arrangement from medieval times, including the part where a road pretty much ends at a precipice with no physical barrier. Caution is advised as nothing prevents the unwary visitor from walking over the edge. Which makes sight-seeing after dark a bit more adventurous than most would expect. The area is at least kept well lit after dark.<\/p><\/div>\n
