Looking for spring adventures beyond the capital? From floral fairytales to gourmet festivals, this season in Hungary invites you to explore nature’s beauty and the finest culinary experiences.
Snowdrop Season in Alcsút
It’s been a long time since we saw any kind of green – but luckily not for any longer, as a true floral fairytale awaits in Alcsút, where thousands of snowdrops bloom together to greet spring. Since the tiny snow-white flowers bloom at unpredictable times, be sure to follow the arboretum’s Facebook page so you don’t miss this spectacular sight. Important note: the last entry is allowed one hour before closing.
