The MUST visit Day-Trip Destination from Budapest: Szentendre | Hungary Travel Guide

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.

We've been thinking of popping up to Szentendre next time we come over. Now I know there's a marcipán shop, that seals the deal.

[TravelBound]

I definitely want to visit Szentendre one day. As always, I loved your video.

[lanaivanova]

Thanks so much for your content! I am going on my first ever solo trip to Budapest soon, and your videos make me feel so much calmer, like if I was already familiar with the city 😊

we went there today on a rather hot day (33+C) since we're leaving for Germany tomorrow and saw what we wanted to see in Budapest (many things thanks to your videos, especially the Labyrinth was great fun on a hot day! Don't turn on a flashlight in the dark, follow the rope on the wall. Spooky!) and had a great day in Szentendre. I would skip the Japanese garden next time, bit of a walk and wasn't that special (but had mosquitoes ;-) ) but you should add the Retro Design Muzeum which is a lot of fun. Things from the 60es and 70es, toys, household items, TVs and typewriters, a whole bunch of cars, really a fun place to visit.
We also hit the Marzipan museum, well worth it, the Christmas store also has a museum of old decorations dating back to the 1800, all their own collection.
Nice to sit on the main square for drinks and some small bites to eat, it was too hot for a big meal. Glad I found out about this little town from your videos and so many other helpful tips from many of your other uploads, super helpful!

Many thanks for your informative videos about Budapest…….am going there next week and I have done my research accordingly. 🤣🤣👍👍

[charcalder]

I love your videos! The last time I was in Szentendre was probably 40 years ago, so it has changed and I need to visit again. I assume he trip is longer by boat, but where can I find information on that? Perhaps then take the HEV back to Budapest. Now I will definitely visit Szentendre!...on a weekday.

[raninenohra]

Thanks for all the cool content. How many hours do you think would be needed to see Szentendre?

[nathaliemiko]

I Like the skanzen near Szentendre too

[Perfumeguy]

Hello 👋 i will come budapest in August, and i want to know if i make the weekly ticket, i must validate the ticket every time? And i want to ask if the bus and train are 24 hours in use? Thanks

[MichaelPaschalidis]

Do not go on winter time. Everything is closed- locked shops churches, cafe, its like a desert village. We didnt find a place to drink a cafe and we took the train back to Budapest. We went on 31 January '24

[antmsurvivorpokemon]

Do you think I can have a great time in early October here on Tuesday? Heard the weather is gonna be unstable and shops may be closed in off seasons...

[annakisfaludinebaan]
