Understand

This charming little town, whose name means "Saint Andrew", is known for its well-preserved houses and churches, many built in a Balkan style as the area was originally settled by Serb refugees. Today the town's best-known inhabitants are artists and small galleries can be found on every street corner.

Get in

Szentendre is easily reached on the HÉV suburban railway line from Batthyány tér (on the Metro red line) in Budapest. Trains leave every 10-30 minutes and take 40-45 minutes to reach the town.

Get around

Szentendre is easily covered on foot. The center of town is the square of Fö tér.

• Rab Ráby, Péter-Pál utca 1/a, tel. 26-310-819. This well-known restaurant is popular with tourists, but for a reason: the attractive interior is decorated like a Hungarian farmhouse and the food is quite good. Try the gulyas soup. Open noon to 10 PM daily.

• Hotel Panzió 100 , [1] is a

family-run hotel in the middle of a wonderful landscape along the Danube.

• Kentaur Hotel , [2] - situated along the Danube, in the heart of Szentendre.

Get out

• The Skanzen [3] open air museum is easily reached by bus from the Szentendre HÉV (communal train) station. This is a huge tract of land to which ancient buildings have been moved from all parts of the country. Small farm villages, mostly with thatched roofs, now dot the landscape, along with barns, outbuildings and even churches. Many are furnished inside. Buy the English guide book, some of the attendants are very knowledgeable (and some not so) but few speak English. You could spend a whole day there (we have spent several) and still have things left to see. There are many ongoing events offered, especially for families with children.
