Skanzen, Open-air Museum of Rural Hungary

Located in the town of Szentendre, a short drive from Budapest, Skanzen features a reconstructed village from all of Hungary's eight historic regions. Each of the structures was relocated to the park from some rural part of the country. The property is immense, and we missed several entire sections as the park was closing, but what we saw was quite interesting and definitely worth another visit. Rather than walk the acreage, you can also take a small train that lets you off in every area (we should have, but didn't).
