Szentendre is an idyllic small town situated on the Danube River about 19km away from the main city. In Szentendre, you can escape the chaos of the city and experience a timeless, laid-back old town that has hardly been affected by the modernity of Budapest.

It takes around 45 minutes to get there on the the suburban train (HÉV) from I. Batthyány tér to Szentendre

Lodz was once the Jewish hub of Poland. However, the Nazis set up a ghetto in the north of the city, in Baluty. You can see traces of the ghetto following the ghetto trail which starts from Piotrkowska Street. You can also visit one of Europe's largest Jewish cemeteries, which has graves of those who developed this young city in the 19th century.

Palvolgyi Cave is a stunning city cave with hundreds of amazing stalactites. During the summer there are tours every two hours that last about 50 minutes. Although tours are usually in Hungarian, tour guides speak enough English to tell you what's what.

Bicycle-driven rickshaws operate all year round on Lodz's main street, Piotrkowska. It is the only place in Poland where one can ride this type of transport. At around 50p a ride, they are a good way of getting around the city.
