At Nyugati, purchase a train ticket to Szentendre. Trains to Szentendre run frequently, typically every 30 minutes. The journey will take about 40 minutes. Once you arrive at Szentendre train station, exit the station and walk straight ahead for about 10 minutes to reach Dumtsa Jenő u. 14, where the Marzipan Museum is located.
