Folk views and tunes: Szentendre

Should you yearn for small-town atmosphere with a folk frosting on top, Szentendre is your place. It's about 40 minutes from downtown via HÉV, the suburban train. It's a beautiful little town with cute stores, restaurants, market stands selling all kinds of folk crafts and artifacts, little parks, churches, museums, galleries, artists and so on. Here's a website in English with more information: http://www.iranyszentendre.hu/en/

To get there, you would take Metro 2 towards Déli Pályaudvar, and take off at Batthyány tér. Then get on the HÉV (local train) towards Szentendre. Detailed directions at the bottom.
