Szentendre is a charming little town that’s easily reachable from Budapest and is a must visit place if you plan to spend a longer vacation in Hungary!
In this video we’ll show you why you should take a day in your itinerary and visit Szentendre!
The town is located north of Budapest and can be easily reached by the suburban railway line H5 (starting from Batthány tér). Please note that Budapest tickets and passes are not valid for the full duration of the trip and an extension ticket needs to be purchased from the vending machines at the stops in Budapest (ticket for the travel between Békásmegyer and Szentendre). These extension tickets must also be validated on the trains, so don’t forget that 🙂
Szentendre has a unique vibe compared to other Hungarian towns since it flourished during the times when Serbians settled here in the medieval times, thanks to that there are many nice colorful houses, cute little alleys, a classic old town square and nice cathedrals and churces.
In Szentendre you should just take your time and explore the labyrinth like inner town, walk through the alleys and find cute places all around! Have a few snacks like Lángos, Palacsinta, or visit the Marzipan Museum where the famous Szamos brand started it all! And those who walk across town to the north will also get to experience a peaceful little Japanese garden.
