An extensive collection of Margit Kovacs' ceramic works featuring a unique synthesis of folk and Byzantine motifs.

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!

We visited the Visegrad Citadel by car on a sunny weekday. Parking was easy, it costs HUF 300 per hour. The parking area was limited. The citadel is an absolute must to see. You cannot get that view of the River Danube anywhere else! :-)
3. Hungarian Open Air Museum (Szabadteri Neprajzi Muzeum)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 196 reviews
The 50-year-old Skanzen is the biggest open air museum of Hungary and is situated at the foot of the Pilis Mountains, on the territory of a nature reserve. On the 60 hectares 312 buildings can be visited, all organised into regional units. The unique flora and fauna of the Museum makes its natural surroundings special too. The permanent exhibitions of the Skanzen take the visitors back to the rural countryside of 100-200 years ago, where walking among old buildings settled in a traditional settlement pattern, visitors have the unique experience of folk architecture, interior furnishings and way of life. Weekdays and holidays come to life in yards, houses, barns, workshops and churches: the housekeeper is busy in the kitchen, the miller pours grain to the mill-hopper, animals are loud in the farmyard and a bell calls the pupils to the village school.

Quite a big park with Hungarian houses from different parts of Hungary from the past. Many activities for kids, like candle making or other "do-it-yourself" activities, open-air games kids used to play before electronic gadgets appeared. There are several points where you can buy something to eat (soup, sausages) or snacks (cakes with different fillings at the "bakery", cookies). We've got an impression that one half of the park (left one if you look at the map of the park) is animated much more than another – or maybe it is because we visited another part in the second part of the day. In this second part we even did not find a place to buy a snack – only beverages were proposed or remained. The web-site does not provide a clear indication how to get to the park from the Szentendre railway station: the "local bus" schedule is from 2017 (it looks like it is still valid though) and the bus was leaving from 6th stop and not 7th (it is better to ask at the cash desk while buying the tickets for the bus). The visit takes the whole day and the park leaves a very good impression.

7. Cathedral

Reviewed By kpiddy - Brisbane, Australia
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.
8. 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.
9. Hubay House - Christmas Exhibition and Salon

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.
