Itinerary Highlights

1. Szentendre – The Town of Artists
The first stop on your tour is the charming and artistic town of Szentendre, known for its cobblestone streets, colorful Baroque buildings, and vibrant art scene. Szentendre has long been a haven for artists and creatives, and this is reflected in its many galleries, museums, and artisan shops.

  • Duration: 3 hours
  • Experience: Stroll through the historic Old Town, visit local galleries, and explore the Szentendre Open-Air Museum (also known as the Skanzen), which offers a fascinating insight into traditional Hungarian rural life. If you prefer something unique, stop by the quirky Marzipan Museum, where you can marvel at intricate sculptures made entirely of marzipan.

Next, you’ll travel to the nearby town of Vác, a picturesque and often overlooked gem on the banks of the Danube. Vác is renowned for its well-preserved Baroque architecture and tranquil atmosphere. Your guide will take you through the town’s historic center, where you can admire stunning churches, monuments, and charming squares.

  • Duration: 2-3 hours
  • Experience: Visit the Vác Cathedral, a striking 18th-century structure that dominates the town’s skyline. You’ll also explore the Triumphal Arch, the only one of its kind in Hungary, and the Town Hall, a beautiful example of Hungarian Baroque architecture. Take a stroll along the Danube promenade and enjoy the scenic views across the river.

What makes Vác special?
Vác is a perfect blend of history, culture, and tranquility.
