Off The Beaten Path: A trip to Szentendre
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of the most popular day trips from Budapest is a visit to the nearby Szentendre. It is a small picturesque town located some 20km north of Budapest. Originally a Serbian and Greek refuge from the Ottomans, the community managed to retain its traditionally orthodox religious beliefs by gathering in simple wooden churches to worship. During the Habsburg era, wooden structures were largely replaced by Baroque stone buildings, while commerce also flourished in the form of wine and textile trading.

    Today, Stentendre is one of the most popular tourist areas in Hungary, offering an almost surreal air of calmness and serenity. It is also home to a young and influential community of artists.

    Although there are suburban HEV trains that will take to you Szentendre in 30 minutes or so, don't miss an opportunity to take a boat trip since this makes the experience of a day trip even more enjoyable.
