April

  • Etyek Picnic 12th and 13th. Always informative and fun. Etyek is a
    small wine producing village right outside of Budapest. A few times
    a year they have an open house sort of event.

  • The Oldtimer Automobile Show 12-13 April at the Hungarian Railway
    History Park. Featuring 500 vintage vehicles, including cars,
    motorcycles, trucks, buses and steam locomotives and a unique wooden
    boat exhibition including a speed record catamaran. Combined with
    what the Hungarian railway park already has, this will be great if
    you are into these sorts of things (I will be there).

  • Easter Sunday, April 20 we will launch a steam cloud excursion from
    Nyugati railway station to Gödöllő, where our passengers will have
    the opportunity to see seasonal programs in the castle, as well as
    the castle building itself. Favouring local visitors, while our
    passengers arriving from Budapest admire the sight of Gödöllő, the
    424 towed train turns from Gödöllő to Hatvan as well. Both trips are
    excellent programs for our nostalgia train lovers or those who want
    to try it. https://www.mavrailtours.hu/hu/travels/2025

  • April 26 Train Experience: With PIVO Express, our passengers can
    explore the countless attractions of the second largest city in the
    Czech Republic and the capital of Moravia. The city, also known as
    Little Prague in our country , lives up to its name: except for the
    prices of the Czech capital and the influx of tourists, we can also
    experience similar things in Brno. Tiny breweries, affordable,
    high-quality local food, cozy dungeons, winding streets, Gothic
    churches and a thousand stories waiting to be discovered await
    visitors here. https://www.mavrailtours.hu/hu/travels/2025

  • Spring Festival. Dates TBD but 26 April through 11 May or starting
    the followin week is likely. https://budapestitavaszifesztival.hu/en/a-fesztival/

  • Budapest Cairo Fest May 6 - 11
    https://www.cairofestbudapest.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIi_11leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHdNB04_Sj9EWvb_hanM1LtQf-iMlgMfiE5X4GQ_fQ0LT1lG9HfIQIbWQug_aem_l3WuCrKqUajedLDn9E9igQ

  • Budapest 100 Architectural and Cultural Open House. Date TBD but
    guessing 8 through 11 May. https://budapest100.hu/en/programs/

  • The Szeged Wine Festival is the largest wine festival in the country,
    in which roughly 200 wineries from here and beyond take part every
    year. At the event lasting one and a half weeks, in addition to the
    wineries, nearly thirty gastronomic exhibitors are also present. At
    the cellar's stand, almost all of the cellar's wines on sale can be
    tasted and purchased. Date TBD, but my guess is starting 15 May.

  • More than 20 wine cellars of the Szekszárd wine region await wine
    lovers at the wine event organized on the model of the Pünkösdi Open
    Cellars. At the cellar, the wine of the cellar will be available for
    tasting and purchase. Opening hours: on Fridays, Saturdays and
    Sundays you can taste wine from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., on Mondays you can
    buy wine from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Date TBD, but my guess is 16 May
    and thru till Monday.

  • Gourmet Festival 23 - 25 May. This one is sort of off the tourist
    radar. https://gourmetfesztival.hu/hu/

  • Budapest Beer Week 26 May through 1 June https://bpbw.hu/en/
