We visited old town while on a day trip from Viking and had a wonderful day. There are shops galore, sweet treats and restaurants to go with interesting museums, churches and architecture. It is a quaint cobblestone narrow street that takes you back in time. You are also only one block from walking the river as well. It is a wonderful day trip from Budapest!

Artist and family friendly. Good for couples as well. History and good food. Close to the Danube and the beautiful Budapest.

Very cool small town outside Budapest. Short train ride and short walk to area with lots of shopping and eateries that was well worth the trip.

What a wonderful place to visit. Lots of small shops and plenty of places to eat at. Parking is scarce and don’t expect any assistance from local police. The cop on duty was rude and arrogant when asked about parking on the weekends. He could not contain his disdain even though my wife spoke to him in Hungarian. Seems he forgot tourists are not criminals but a source of revenue for this town. The encounter left us shaking our heads.
Moving forward, we recommend visiting again as we plan to do.

We booked a private tour to take us on a tour of the Danube Bend (see my separate review for the tour company…they were terrific!). We went to three stops with Szentendre being the third and final stop. And what a lovely way to wrap up our day.
Wandering the streets of Szentendre was fantastic fun. While there are some shops and cafes, the real attraction here is the just the relaxed pace and closeness to the river. The Old Town butts right up to the river and isn’t terribly large. So an hour or two is plenty of time here.
I’ve read some of the reviews saying “there’s very little to see”. Well, in a small medievel town, I’m not exactly sure WHAT you were looking to see (and clearly you didn’t see it!). But if you’re looking for quaint architecture, a relaxed pace, small cobble stoned streets and cute town squares, Old Town in Szentendre is the place for you.

We visited Szentendre as a day trip.
We departed from Budapest by train and returned by Mahart Passnave Boat giving us different views each way.
Despite some forum members advising that this was very touristy and that there are better places to visit I enjoyed the day trip to this cute town with lots of beautiful old buildings with character. I do agree its touristy and probably best avoided on weekends.
There are many shops to stroll around as well as many restaurants and bars. There are museums ansd lots of other things to do in this lovely town.

I fail to see why this place gets so many good reviews. The town square is quite pretty and maybe worth a couple of photographs, but that's it! There are a lot of gift shops, a few cafes and lots of tourists. It hardly seemed worth the train journey through the drab suburbs of Budapest.

Easily accessible from Batthyány tér on the HEV (suburban railway) and about a 40 minute ride. From the station it is a 5 minute walk to the old town. I spent my time wandering round, looking at the building and absorbing the atmosphere. I walked in a few back streets, visited two excellent churches and walked down to the Danube. I ignored all the touristy shops. There are plenty of places to eat if you're bhungry. A lovely place and well worth a visit.
