Town in Hungary
4 things to see
Szentendre is a colorful artist town on the Danube bend, easily reached from Budapest by cheap suburban train (HEV) and perfect for a half-day budget outing. Wandering the cobbled main square, the riverside, and the lanes of pastel houses and galleries costs nothing, and packing a picnic from Budapest keeps the day cheap. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to visit, with thinner crowds than the summer peak.
What to see
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
The hillside paths above Szentendre lead to free viewpoints overlooking the Danube as it curves dramatically through the surrounding hills. The walk up takes about 20 minutes and rewards with a panorama that explains why painters have been drawn to this town for centuries.
The sloping cobblestone square at the heart of Szentendre is surrounded by colorful merchant houses and the Serbian Orthodox Blagovestenska Church. Free to enjoy, the square captures the Mediterranean atmosphere that makes this Danube Bend town feel like it belongs further south.
This small museum in an 18th-century merchant house displays the expressive ceramic sculptures and tiles of Hungary's most famous ceramicist. Entry costs a modest fee.
The Belgrade Cathedral sits on a hilltop above the town and houses an extraordinary iconostasis and a collection of Serbian Orthodox ecclesiastical art. Entry costs a small fee.
