A must-see destination is the Pannonia House, where two special child-friendly attractions await you. The Sajdik caricature collection evokes the charming figure of Arthur the Dandy and the great Ho-Ho-Ho fisherman, and thanks to the drawings of Hungarian caricaturist Ferenc Sajdik, you can learn how the visit of Maria Theresia to Vác and the arrival of the first train to Vác took place in the town.
In the courtyard of the Pannonia House, you will be greeted by a veritable Fairy Garden, where ceramic artist Andrea Vertel's cheerful frogs, little birds and other fairytale characters are guaranteed to bring a smile to the faces of children and adults alike.
The waterfront promenade is a great place for a family walk, children can even ride their bikes or rollerblade along the promenades, while the legendary panorama of the Danube is the backdrop.
The proximity of the city centre, the beauty of the Danube bank and the city's charming activities ensure that a trip to Vác will be an unforgettable experience with children.
