Budapest: Full-Day Puszta Tour with Show

Escape the hustle and bustle of Budapest for a day and journey into the heart of the Hungarian countryside with this Full-Day Puszta Tour. The tour begins with a scenic drive to the Great Hungarian Plain, known as the Puszta, a region famous for its endless horizons, rustic villages, and deep-rooted cultural traditions.

Upon arrival at a traditional Hungarian farm, you will be greeted with a warm welcome and the chance to sample the local pálinka (fruit brandy) and pogácsa (savory biscuits), a customary greeting that reflects the region’s hospitality. The centerpiece of your visit is the spectacular horse show, where you will witness Hungary’s renowned csikós (cowboys) showcasing their exceptional horsemanship skills. Marvel at their daring stunts, including riding horses while standing, cracking whips, and demonstrating traditional methods of animal herding. This centuries-old tradition is a fascinating display of the unique relationship between man and horse in Hungary’s rural culture.

After the show, enjoy a carriage ride through the vast Puszta plains, soaking in the serenity and beauty of the region. The rolling fields, dotted with grazing livestock and scattered farms, provide a glimpse into the peaceful life of the Hungarian countryside. For those interested in the region’s agricultural life, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the farm and see native Hungarian animals such as the grey cattle, racka sheep, and the famous Hungarian horses.

A delicious, authentic Hungarian lunch awaits you in a charming countryside setting. Indulge in local specialties such as goulash soup, roast meats, and traditional desserts, accompanied by fine Hungarian wines. The meal is served in a rustic farm restaurant, giving you a taste of rural Hungarian cuisine at its finest.

The tour also includes a visit to a nearby town, where you can explore a quaint village and learn more about life in the Puszta region. Stroll through the streets, visit local craft shops, and perhaps purchase some handmade souvenirs to take home.
