On Margaret Island in Budapest, the Medieval Dominican Convent and Royal Mansion preserves the remains of a medieval complex. The ruins offer a tangible link to King Béla IV’s daughter, who took the veil at the convent, and make a quiet stop for anyone interested in the island’s past. Open spaces nearby suit families, and thermal baths are close enough to pair with a visit. Take care around the old walls: climbing on them can damage the site.
