One day in Szentendre, a tip from a local, turned out to be a perfect addition to my stay in Budapest. Following a recommendation from a friendly local, I decided to explore the charming town of Szentendre during my trip to Budapest. So, on a sunny day in Budapest, I made the short 39-minute train ride with the HÉV line H5 from Batthyány tér station to this picturesque town on the banks of the Danube.
It was on a cold December morning as I walked through the streets of Budapest, wrapped in a warm winter coat. My curious gaze was immediately drawn to the impressive St. Stephen’s Basilica, where the scent of freshly baked treats and the cheerful sound of Christmas music blended together. The Christmas market at the foot of St. Stephen’s Basilica revealed an array of handmade treasures and Hungarian delicacies. Just a short walk away, on Vörösmarty Tér, I found myself immersed in a lively mix of lights, music, and heartwarming food.
