Szentendre: Art & Religion
ZoOm Hungary

The Szentendre tour is a perfect combination of history, art and religion. Visiting the Serb Orthodox centre of the country, enjoying the art and the choices of around 20 museums and galleries in Szentendre, spiced with some gastronomical adventure and shopping on demand, makes it an excellent half day excursion.

Szentendre: Art & Religion

A charming small village/town, named after Apostle St. Andrew, is located just about 15 miles from Budapest, but opens up a different world for travelers. Wandering around on the cobbled streets of this originally Serbian inhabited town, you will see 3 Catholic, 3 Serbian Orthodox and 2 Protestant churches, a Jewish synagogue, and about 20 small museums and private galleries nearby the art studios of one of the most famous Hungarian art colonies, the Szentendre Colony, founded in 1929.

Szentendre: Art & Religion

The Mediterranean 17th century old town with its colorful houses hosted the very first private restaurant of the Communist era, and the family run restaurant still offers a unique gastronomical experience at the bottom of Church hill, just below the 13th century Catholic church on Church Hill. The Marzipan Museum and the delicate, tiny chocolate store Eden with the best hot chocolate in the world, makes Szentendre heaven on Earth.
