Crowning the top of a 1,148-foot hill, the dramatic Fellegvár was built in the 13th century and served as the seat of Hungarian kings in the early 14th century. In the Middle Ages the citadel was where the Holy Crown and other royal regalia were kept, until they were stolen by a dishonorable maid of honor in 1440; 23 years later King Matthias had to pay 80,000 Ft to retrieve them from Austria. (For the foreseeable future, the crown is safe in the Parliament building in Budapest.) A panoptikum (akin to slide projection) show portraying the era of the kings is included with admission. The breathtaking views of the Danube Bend below are ample reward for the strenuous 40-minute hike up. Then again, you can always drive up the hill from the center of Visegrád in five minutes.

The museum, founded in 1972, was created to honor the work of Impressionist Károly Ferenczy, and important leader in the Nagybánya Artist Colony in the late 19th century. But the museum also exhibits the work of his wife, children, and brother, all of whom were popular artists of the early modern era.

Fő tér is Szentendre's main square, the centerpiece of which is an ornate Memorial Cross erected by Serbs grateful that their town was spared from a plague. The cross displays a painted crucifixion and stands atop a triangular pillar adorned with a dozen icon paintings. Every single house on Fő tér is a designated landmark, and three of them are open to the public for 400 Ft each. The Ferenczy Múzeum displays paintings of Szentendre landscapes, the Kmetty Múzeum shows the work of János Kmetty, a pioneer of Hungarian avant-garde painting, and Szentendrei Képtár has an excellent collection of local contemporary artists and revolving exhibits of international art.

Gracing the corner of Görög utca (Greek Street) and Szentendre's main square, Fø tér, the so-called Görög templom is actually a Serbian Orthodox church that takes its name from the Greek inscription on a red-marble gravestone set in its wall. This elegant edifice was built between 1752 and 1754 by a rococo master, Andreas Mayerhoffer, on the site of a wooden church dating to the Great Serbian Migration (around AD 690). Its greatest glory—a symmetrical floor-to-ceiling panoply of stunning icons—was painted between 1802 and 1804 by Mihailo Zivkovic, a Serbian painter from Buda.

In the 15th century, King Matthias Corvinus had a separate palace built on the bank of the Danube below the citadel. It was eventually razed by the Turks, and not until 1934 were the ruins finally excavated. Nowadays you can see the disheveled remnants of the Királyi palota (Royal Palace) and its Salamon torony (Salamon Tower), which are part of the Mátyás Király Múzeum. The Salomon Tower has two small exhibits displaying ancient statues and well structures from the age of King Matthias. Especially worth seeing is the red-marble well, built by a 15th-century Italian architect. Above a ceremonial courtyard rise the palace's various halls; on the left you can still see a few fine original carvings, which give an idea of how magnificent the palace must once have been. Inside the palace is a small exhibit on its history, as well as a collection of gravestones dating from Roman times to the 19th century. Fridays in May, the museum hosts medieval crafts demonstrations.

Szentendre's farthest-flung museum is also the largest open-air museum in the country. It is a living recreation of 18th- and 19th-century village life from different regions of Hungary—the sort of place where blacksmith shops and a horse-powered mill compete with wooden houses and folk handicrafts for your attention. Five km (3 miles) northwest of the city center, the museum is accessible by bus from the Szentendre terminus of the HÉV suburban railway; the bus leaves from stand No. 7 (ask to be sure, and buy a ticket to the Skanzen, as the museum is called).
