- 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.

Glad I found this channel. You and your producer are gems. Thank you for sharing great areas to visit in Hungary. 👍🌻
Heading to Budapest in May. Szentendre is now on my list of places to visit. Thanks Akos
I hope you'll have a lovely time there when you visit :)
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.
Glad to hear this video helped with adding Szentendre to your plans, it's really a cool place indeed 😊
I Like the skanzen near Szentendre too
I believe the Skanzen there deserves it's own video one day :)
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the Support! 😊🙏
I definitely want to visit Szentendre one day. As always, I loved your video.
Lovely town!
Very beautiful place!
Thank the tour Akos! 🙃
Thanks for the video. Planning to visit next week.
Great video. Love Szentendre I will try to go the next few days .
Thank you ❤
Great video. Love Szentendre. First time I went there on a school trip, and like it since.
Hi , I just subscribed to your channel. . I alway being intrigued and interested on travel to Hungary. I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS .
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 😊
Glad to hear, hope you will have a great time :)
It was so great meeting you guys today! Keep up making the best travel videos.
We were really happy to meet you too, and it will be a special one as you were the very first ones who recognised us. Thanks again ☺️
The funniest part was that we were on the tram and my wife exclaimed "It's Cabbage, it's cabbage!"... it took a minute for me to realize what she was talking about 😆.
Many thanks for your informative videos about Budapest…….am going there next week and I have done my research accordingly. 🤣🤣👍👍
Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy your time here! :)
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.
yes it a bit longer not that bad. here is the link to the website where you can get more information :) hope you have a great time! mahartpassnave.hu/en/timetable/danube-bend-with-hydrofoils/budapest-szentendre-budapest
hello, how much time will it take us to wonder around szentendre? We think of visiting Saturday at 10:00 and we want to visit visegrad and esztergom after that on a day trip.
Hey there, it will be very tough to fit in Esztergom or Visegrád on the same day. It's easy to spend half a day there or even more. You can consider Szentendre as activities for the day and then head back to Budapest for late afternoon / evening activities 😊
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
Hey there! If you get a public transport pass like a weekly one you don't need to validate that every time, if you purchase the paper based pass you may need to show that to inspectors or bus drivers. Or if you get the pass within the Budapest Go app, you may need to scan a QR code and show to bus driver if needed. Single fare tickets need validation once boarding the vehicle. This is also applicable for the extension ticket for the train to Szentendre. Regarding 24 hour public transport, in Budapest there are special night services. But traveling to and from Szentendre during the late night hours can be very tricky so I would not plan with that. Last train back to Budapest leaves around 23:30.
Can i do a 1/2 day morning, ie 7am to 2pm kind of day trip to Szentendre? As i would like to combine Szechenyi thermals bath when back to Budapest on the same day. Doable?
Technically you can do a quick tour of Szentendre, if you come during these colder months you won't be sitting outside at the riverfront, so you could fit a lot of not all into a half a day trip. The only thing I would raise perhaps is that Szechenyi becomes more and more crowded as the time goes on, so perhaps by the time you get there it may be a bit too crowded. But I don't say this to discourage you from visiting it, just trying to set expectations :)
Great tip to go outside Budapest. Are credit cards widely used?
Hey there! Yep, credit cards are widely available, perhaps only a few small shops accept cash only but we could get by with card only during this trip 😊
Well done! Could you please share the location of Serbian cross? I couldn't find it on google map 😢
Hey there! The address I found on Google maps is: Szentendre, Bartók Béla utca 11, 2000, have a lovely visit 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Thank you so much. I just found it with the name Szerb tobakos kereszt. We are on our way 😍
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
Sad to hear you couldn't get a full experience. I guess its not only the winter time but also being the middle of the week. Most people go during weekends but since overall nr of visitors are much lower during winter, I guess not every place opens up during the weekdays. Thanks for Sharing!
I'm Hungarian. I comfirm this almost everything is closed out of season.
Are you able to walk to all of the places you showed without taxi or car?
Hey there! Szentendre is a small and very walkable town. From the train station all the way up the north where the Japanese garden is it's an under 2 km walk. Of course you can walk a ton if you explore the many side streets 😊
How long does it take to get this town from Budapest by train?
Hey there, as noted at the beginning of the video, it's a 40 minute ride with suburban railway H5 😊
Old serb village spent the day there, u won't be disappointed 😊
Does it also take about 40-45 mins with the boat and bus?
Hey there, the bus is roughly the same time (but for Buses you need to go to Újpest Városkapu subway station), and the boat if I am not mistaken is longer, around 1,5 hours to Szentendre and an hour back to Budapest.
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Thank you very much for your prompt response. Binge-watching your videos to learn more :v
How much was the ticket from Budapestvienna
Hey there. Not sure if you are asking about tickets between Budapest and Vienna, if youes then prices depend on departure times and season, but if I search for a ticket now a one way ticket comes to around 27 euro on the Hungarian State Railway site (MÁV)
Are there any places for women’s clothes shopping in Hungary?
Hey there! We have most of the regular brands like H&M, Zara, C&A, Reserved, Bershka etc mostly in Shopping Malls and the Váci utca area 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Thanks! And artisan products like purses and jewelry?
There are various small shops for artisan products around the city, usually there is also a weekend market held called WAMP (next one is held on 12th of May then 16th of June). There is also a place called Paloma Artspace in the city center with different artisan goods on sale.
