The opportunity to jump on a half-day from the big city, walk along the narrow cobbled streets, drink wine, buy a souvenir and return back to Budapest in Hungary looks very attractive.
A trip to Szentendre, even at barely creeping riverboat on the Danube takes about an hour.
The little town, opposite the island of Szentendre Hungary on the narrow strip of land between the mountains and one of the branches of the Danube, was founded by refugees from the Turkish invasion: Serbs, Dalmatians, Greeks, and God knows who else.
Probably, the national-religious heterogeneity became the main cause of a peculiar architectural appearance of the town in Hungary. Each community has built its temple and settled around it.
The artists' colony formed here since the late 20's gave to the town's appereance another paint.
At the moment about painters, graphic artists, ceramists, etc. live in Szentendre in Hungary. They also opened many galleries and museums. And in part in this way the town became like a museum. The town authorities have banned any adjustment even of private homes without a fairly complicated art-historical agreement.
So, going in Hungary in Budapest - definitely go in Szentendre. It will not take you much time but you will get impressions more than enough.
