Dove andare

Szentendre in breve

A peaceful and creative haven awaits visitors in the small town of Szentendre. Situated on the banks of the River Danube, about 40 minutes north of Budapest, it's a worthwhile destination to add to any itinerary when visiting the Hungarian capital. When you arrive in Szentendre, you’ll be greeted by a warm, Mediterranean atmosphere with the cobbled streets of the city center lined with cafes, restaurants, shops and the all-important Hungarian street food and wine culture. Art lovers will be spoilt for choice in the city with the selection of galleries that represent Hungarian artists and there are museums that offer some insight into the city’s history.

Top three things to do in Szentendre

1. Walk around the Old Town

Cobbled streets will guide you through Szentendre's old town. Visit the main square ‘Fo ter’, an explosion of colour. You’ll find shops and artisan crafts as well as the Memorial Cross at its center. The Blagovestenska orthodox church is a must-see, along with other churches in the city. Refuel with a ‘Langos’, a traditional Hungarian flatbread topped with sweet or savory toppings.

2. Feel inspired at the art galleries and museums

Visitors will be spoiled for choice in Szentendre with art and ceramic galleries, studios and museums to visit. Don’t miss out on the Art Mill and the Marzipan Museum where Disney characters, buildings, bible stories and celebrities come to life! You can even pick up some marzipan treats before you leave.

3. Get climbing and enjoy the views!

Walk through a narrow street and up some steps from the main square to reach Castle Hill, a former fortress in the Middle Ages, perfect for a dose of history. See the St. John the Baptist Church and admire the wonderful panorama of the Danube and town from above.
