Danube Bend

Szentendre

The artists' town on the Danube, a short hop from Budapest.

A small baroque town on the Danube just north of Budapest, shaped by Serbian settlers in the late 17th century. Winding lanes, Orthodox church towers, galleries and craft shops make it a favourite half-day or day trip — and Hungary's largest open-air village museum is on its edge.
