Szentendre is situated north of Budapest on the banks of the Danube River. It takes about 20 minutes to reach Budapest by car and approximately 40 minutes by suburban train. Szentendre is a town of arts and museums. It is home to the Hungarian open air museum, which exhibits the folklore architecture and culture of the Carpathian basin. The most visited museums of the town include the Margit Kovács Museum (pottery), the Serb Clerical Museum, the ArtMill exhibition centre for modern arts and a public transport train collection (near the HÉV station). There are a further 14 museums and art galleries acquainting visitors with the rich historical past and teeming artistic life of the town. It is not by chance that the quietness of the town and the proximity of the bustling metropolis of Budapest have drawn over one hundred artists here.
