About Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum
The Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum, known as the Skanzen, occupies a large area outside Szentendre’s center. Its collection includes rural buildings that show ways of living, working and organizing communities across different regions of the country.
The houses are not a single old village preserved in situ: they belong to a museum organized in thematic sectors. Domestic interiors, workshops and community buildings help compare materials, tools and settlement patterns. The route combines entries into buildings with outdoor transfers.
Choose the sectors of greatest interest before you start, since internal distances take up part of the visit. The main season usually runs from April to October; access from November to March is more limited and tied to specific dates. Check the calendar and the internal transport options before you go.
