Ráckeve is situated in the south of Csepel Island, just downstream from Budapest on the Danube, stretching along two island-riddled shores in a picturesque natural environment. At the time of the Hungarian Conquest during the 10th century, the tribe of Chieftain Árpád settled on the island later named after Csepel, the stable-boy tending Chieftain Árpád’s horses.
Ráckeve’s most impressive architectural monument, the Savoya Castle. Named after Árpád, the small square near the castle is appropriately adorned by a statue of the Hungarian tribal chieftain. Walking down Lajos Kossuth Street towards the town center, we cross the historical Traders’ Quarters. Having once functioned as the Tavern to the Black Eagle but since converted on multiple occasions; the simple, single-storey building of Károly Ács Cultural Center has barely preserved any visible trace of its medieval origin. Near Town Hall we reach the Serbian Orthodox Church and Cloister of Our Lady, another architectural gem of the city.
Ráckeve offers cultural diversity through a wide range of folklore festivals, classical music concerts, special events, exhibitions, gastronomical events, and entertainment opportunities. With its buzzing cultural life, the city welcomes visitors all year round with open-air festivals in the summer and exhibitions.
