Skanzen

The Hungarian Open Air Museum, widely known as the Skanzen, is Hungary’s most significant open-air ethnographic collection, dedicated to preserving and showcasing folk architecture, interior design, and traditional lifestyles from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century. Located on the outskirts of Szentendre at 75 Sztaravodai Road, this 60-hectare park allows visitors to wander among original buildings organized into regional units, representing the architectural heritage of areas such as the Great Plain, Transdanubia, and Transylvania. A unique feature of the museum is its "living museum" concept, where craftsmen demonstrate their trades, farm animals graze on the plots, and the Skanzen Train helps transport visitors across the vast grounds, all while various seasonal festivals bring ancient folk customs to life.
