Confession time: while some have a fondness for delicate European pastries, say a French eclair or a Viennese strudel, my weakness is the humble Hungarian chimney cake or kürtoskalacs.

Wound around a wooden spool, rolled in sugar, cooked over hot coals and dusted in cinnamon, vanilla, and walnut, it’s the spit-roasted dessert that fuels a nation.

Szentendre, just outside Budapest, is known for its artistic charm and authentic chimney cakes.

Choosing the right shore excursion is key, one that caters to different interests and offers a mix of activities.

Explore the picturesque town, visit the Margit Kovacs Museum to admire the artist’s ceramic art, and savor the delightful flavors of the chimney cake.

Feel the texture of the fluffy and crunchy cake as you unravel it, like a coiled strip of orange peel.

Immerse yourself in the art and history of Szentendre, from an artist’s colony in the 1920s to the enduring legacy of Margit Kovacs.

Take in the Baroque architecture, wander through galleries, and enjoy some free time at a local cafe under colorful umbrellas.
