Program details

Szentendre is a charming riverside town and artists colony situated on the Danube not far from Budapest.
After being picked up from your hotel we'll head straight for Szentendre. This town has been home to generations of Hungarian artists since the early 20th Century and is well known for its many museums, most notably the Open-Air Ethnographic Museum as well as its many galleries and artists.

Discover this baroque town, built on the ruins of a medieval settlement and explore the maze of quaint narrow streets. Don't miss a climb up to the hill overlooking the town where you'll find a small viewing area overlooking the red-slate rooftops; if you look carefully you may even see a strange blue angel perched on top of one of the nearby church roofs. You will also have the opportunity to do some shopping (and to visit the Margit Kovács Ceramic Museum or the quirky Marzipan Museum where all of the exhibits are made out of this traditional sweetmeat. Do not leave without trying the local specialty of Lángos, fried flat bread and the local appetizer, Rác Ürmös. During the summer we will return to Budapest on the Danube by boat. The tour ends in the city centre.
