Szentendre 'The Artists Town' Tour - 4 hours
After a short drive we arrive in Szentendre, which is a small baroque city with Mediterranean atmosphere. Because of its picturesque location, narrow, winding streets, small romantic squares, Greek orthodox churches, souvenir shops and cafés Szentendre is a popular destination. Furthermore it is a centre of Hungarian artists with numerous museums and art collections. In Szentendre settled down many Serbians and Greeks when Hungary was reconquered from the Turks at the end of the 17th century, therefore this city is the religious centre of Hungarian orthodox believers.
In Szentendre we walk to the main square in the centre, where most of the sights are located: the City Hall, the Greek Church and the oldest catholic church on the hilltop offering a beautiful view of the Danube and the surroundings. After the walking tour in the pedestrian area we visit the unique Marzipan Museum where handmade marzipan figures and sculptures are exhibited. We invite you for a coffee and a cake in the pastry shop. Afterwards you can enjoy a longer free time to visit some other museums (for example the Margit Kovács Ceramic Museum) or to do shopping along the main street. As an alternative we can visit the jewellery factory and shop called Caprice, where you have the chance to see diamonds, jewels and their fine producing processes during a short guided tour.
