Review of Skanzen (Open-Air Ethnographical Museum)

About 3km (2 miles) northwest of Szentendre is one of Hungary's better skanzens, or reproduction peasant villages. This ambitious skanzen, the largest in the country, represents rural life from all regions of the country. There are several reconstructed 18th- and 19th-century villages, with thatch-roofed houses, blacksmith and weaving shops, working mills, and churches. You can purchase a guidebook in English at the gate.

Szentendre's bus station is behind the HÉV terminal. Take the bus from bay 7 (fare is 170 Ft) and get off at the Szabadság-forrás stop. The bus will not stop automatically, so you must press the stop request button. A more convenient way is to go to the boat landing and take a taxi. If you're driving, follow Route 10N. Turn left on Sztaravodai út.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
