Szentendre Skanzen Village Museum






Museum of 18th- to 20th-century village & farming life, with dwellings & a museological collection.
Went to Szentendre with the intent of visiting this heritage museum. It is a terrific place with many buildings which were in danger of being demolished or simply disappearing. They were carefully taken apart and reassembled here. They were careful to retain the rustic nature of the buildings. Sometimes not everything is accessible due to the popularity of the space as a venue for filming movies and TV shows. Plenty of places to sit and have a picnic. Also several eating and drinking venues. Only snag I found was that on a Saturday afternoon there was no public transport back to Szentendre and I had to walk about 3 kilometres. Great place for a day out.
Unbelievably cool place, great historical vibes, super interesting! Strongly recommend to all who are into the rural European history, looking for a source of inspiration or just want to enjoy kinda time-traveling walk. A lot of entertainment for the children, fantastic tasty pastry, comfortable walking routes, many fruit trees — yes, you can even eat some berries, depends on the season of course. I'm absolutely happy about that visit!
I enjoyed the place. We came a bit late in the afternoon and we were not able to see all, but definitely coming back to see all the beautiful places. So comfortable place to come with big family, many kids and dogs. Everything is well taken cared of Train drivers were very polite and attentive.They also have the cutest application that makes easier to know where are you and what to visit. Also I am in love with their museum shop!
Excellent visit, staff were polite and taught some folk crafts. Life-like recreations of folk houses looked rather realistic, much effort must have been put into it. Good toilet facilities as well. Note that they are, except for a few dates, closed for the winter holidays. The entire village museum occupies much land area and there are many model houses. Exhibits have both English and Hungarian descriptors.
I recommend to buy ticket in advance to avoid long queue. I visited this place for the Easter and it was such a good experience. There were many events and I think otherwise it is very nice place to spend time with your family for a picnic. Be careful that there is only one restaurant and a bakery so waiting time could be longer. I would recommend to get a food and water along with you.
