Took a day trip to Szentendre which is easily accessible from Budapest by train. The graffiti in Hungary has been the most prolific. The ground floor of the houses in the street parallel to the train line had been covered for the length of the 19 kilometer trip. The metal sun shutters were covered with graffiti as well as the window glass. The trains are covered and so are the windows and the latter are often scratched so much that it is difficult to see out of them. Of course the fences separating the street and railway lines were also painted. Most of the works were signatures and not political slogans or messages.
Szentendre is a former artists colony along the river. There are many 18th century buildings as well as Serbian churches built from 1752 and 1764. It has the usual narrow cobbled streets and was a pleasant place to spend time away from the bustle of Budapest.
