Baroque lanes, the main square with its merchants' cross and the towers of the Serbian churches · 2 h on foot · Free

The walk
Szentendre grew in the 18th century with Serbian and Dalmatian merchants fleeing the Ottomans, and its centre preserves that layout: narrow streets that climb and descend, courtyards, seven church towers and coloured houses around Fő tér, the main square, with the merchants' cross in the middle. From there, Dumtsa Jenő utca runs down towards the station and Bogdányi út runs parallel to the Danube, full of galleries and craft shops.
Where to go

Fő tér and the lanes leading from it towards the river.
The Serbian Orthodox Church of the Annunciation (Blagoveštenska), on the same square.
The climb up Church Hill, with views of the rooftops.
The descent to the Danube promenade.

Two hours at a leisurely pace is enough for the centre; with museums and a meal, the whole day.
