Szentendre is a small town north of Budapest, right on the banks of the Danube. It is famous for the historic old town, built in the baroque style, with small, narrow streets, houses with small courtyards, numerous churches, cafes, and shops. You feel like you’re in a small mediterranean or balkanian town. There are also some small hills in the old town, from these hills you have a great view of the Danube and the entire region.
In Szentendre we first take a guided walking tour of the old town so that you can decide afterwards what you would like to see in more detail. Some options: Ceramic exhibition by Margit Kovacs, Marzipan Museum, Serbian Orthodox Church and Museum.
Of course there is also enough time for a coffee and a piece of delicious cake in one of the nice cafés and confectioneries of Szentendre.

Szentendre’s cobblestoned main square is the bustling heart of this historic town, lined with restaurants, ice-cream shops, museums and more. Here the Blagoveštenska Orthodox Church towers over everything, while winding streets and alleys stretch out in all directions – head downhill to the riverfront or hike uphill to find City Hall or Templom Square.
Also known as the Castle Church, the oldest building of the city was originally built in the 13th century. IIts present day outlook was completed between 1742 and 1751.
This shop-lined main conduit toward Fő tér buzzes with pedestrian traffic and conversations at pavement cafés.
