Our heritage

Hollókő in Nógrád County in Northern Hungary has been a UNESCO World Heritage site. This small village is sought out by tourists from all over the world, as this is currently the only Hungarian settlement whose residents still use the built environment as they did in the past century.

Hungary has a very rich repository of folk traditions, whose heritage is well worth exploring. We’ll show you all that makes up the country’s fabulous folklore legacy.

While you are in the vicinity of Hajdúság, visit Hortobágy, where you can relax on the porch of the 300-year-old Hortobágy Inn and take in the enormous grassy steppe, while sampling the shepherds’ traditional dish of slambuc (a combination of pasta, potatoes and bacon).

Budapest’s architecture is world famous; it’s no coincidence that every traveller mentions how impressed they were by the buildings’ diversity when they looked up, no matter which part of the city they were in. 

Bunches of grapes hanging in the autumn sunshine, pickers sharing jokes, the taste of freshly pressed grape juice, dinner together after work; the grape harvest is an unforgettable experience with family and friends. 

In the past few years, a new chapter has begun in the history of Hungary’s markets: the old tradition, which was an important part of the culture for centuries, is flourishing again.
