At the foot of the Pilis Mountains, the small artists' town of Szentendre is an artistic haven, filled with small art shops and various collectives of artists, who also work in groups according to the artistic common denominator and across different art genres.
The historic atmosphere of the town has also acted as a draw and Szentendre is also home to one of Hungary's largest outdoor museums, the Skanzen, which is a representation of the old farming community and is a folk museum, similar to the Open Air Museum.
The city also has a number of good restaurants and cafés, and if you fancy a bit of shopping, there should be some great opportunities to pick up some genuine Hungarian art. There are several cycle paths around the city, and the flat terrain along the Danube is perfect for a ride on two wheels.
