We caught a local train- about 18 stops but cheap!

YOu take the HEV train from Batthanyi ter to Szentendre. It takes about 40 minutes but it's very nice and safe.

Here's the link:http://www.bkv.hu/angol/hev/index.html

in English, hope that this is helpful.

We took a 1 1/2 hour cruise there and that local train back. No problem.

Actually, I was more impressed with most parts of Budapest than Szentendre.

I felt the storekeepers pretty well covered the main part of town with their goods hanging out in front.

Unlike Brugge (we were there on the same trip) where I believe they're not allowed to do that so the city is on display.

However, if you want to go I would recommend that local train in both directions.

Maybe an evening cruise on the Danube is romantic. That daytime cruise to Szentendre was a bit boring once we left Budapest (after 5 minutes).
