Szentendre, Hungary
Szentendre is a pleasant little old town about 12 miles north of Budapest. It’s very touristy. You can tell by the number of tour buses dropping people off. It’s known for a few old churches. Lots of restaurants and stores selling all kinds of Hungarian souvenirs. If you ever need a Hungarian folk dress and accessories for a baby girl, this is the place to go. It took 30 minutes to get there by bus/train from Budapest. I ended up near the ferries, and how often do I get an opportunity to use river transportation, so I took the 1 hour boat ride back. A smooth ride, and very scenic, especially when passing under all the bridges on the way into the city. I've said it before and I'll say it again, water and bridges are what make a city look good. The newest one was supposed to be the Stephen Colbert bridge, but somehow his plan didn't work out.
