This town was so interesting---MANY shops, cafes, etc. It was a surprise to find the Ceramic Museum in this little town---quite impressive, well done and very classy. I was intrigued with it. We had already visited Budapest and wanted to find a new location of interest---this was perfect!

4. Cathedral

For a small Danube Bend town we weren't expecting such a large and impressive cathedral which has an equally large rectangular paved forecourt. Built around 1761, this is the fourth church to have been built here since the eleventh century. It is said that the style of architecture is French, neoclassic and late Baroque, in any case it is very impressive with columns on the entry, two clock towers, statues above the front facade and a rear dome. As Sunday mass was in progress we did not enter the cathedral to view the interior.
5. Tragor Ignac Museum - Memento Mori Exhibition
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 42 reviews
During the renovation process of the Dominican Church in Vác a priceless treasure of cultural history came to daylight in 1994 when construction workers stumbled upon the entrance, walled up 150 years ago, to a stairway leading to the crypt under the church. In the crypt there were 262 colourful, ornate coffins, mostly in good condition, with the spontaneously mummified bodies of citizens of Vác, who died in the period from the second half of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century.

The Hubay House Christmas Exhibition is a wonderful place for anyone who loves or appreciates Christmas to visit. They have many gorgeous displays of vintage Christmas ornaments from the 1800s - 1950s - 1980s. They also have many retro (new) ornaments and many other styles of decorations available for purchase. It took us about 40 minutes to go through all the displays and the store. The museum brought back a lot of memories that my cousin had of christmases when he was a child in the 1950s. It was a good day.

I made the short trip on suburban railway from Budapest to Szentendre to visit this museum - and felt it well worthwhile. The fact that the trip only cost me around 1 euro each way as an add-on my Budapest travel ticket was a bonus. Those that moan about the price should consider what one might pay elsewhere - around 3 euros for an admission with a photo pass seems fine to me, and those in the party who don’t want to take photos get in even cheaper! There is a fine collection of trams through the ages, so even though there is a mix of old and new trams still running on the streets of Budapest, there are plenty of others to see here. There are also a few buses and engines, but the trams are the star of the show! The volunteer staff don't speak a lot of English, but in context there are no issues with paying the entrance fee etc.
10. Ferenczy Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 28 reviews
Established as the local history collection of the town in 1951 and named after artist Károly Ferenczy, the museum was relocated to a historic monument building, the 18th-century Pajor Mansion in Kossuth Lajos Street in 2013. In 2016 the museum changed its name to Ferenczy Museum Centre, and today it owns a uniquely rich collection of Szentendre’s painting, graphic art, sculpture, and numismatic art. On the second floor of the building’s old wing one may get a taste of the works of The Eight, founders of the old artists’ settlement in 1926. The exhibition is currently being rearranged. There are two temporary exhibition halls on the first floor. The works of contemporary Szentendre artists are exhibited in Szentendre Hall, whereas in Barcsay Hall projects of national and international artists can be viewed.
