Absolutely lovely place. We've been here several years ago and it's only getting better! The owner's daughter speaks excellent English and is a great introduction to the world of Nemeth's wines. Delicious snacks: bread, ham and cheese. A must-have accessory for your tasting! Lovely, homely atmosphere. It's fun to be a part of it!

Went on a small group tour from Budapest. Family run winery with some amazing small batch wines. All clean and fresh tasting without additives. Beautiful setting, great information on Hungarian wines, and really enjoyably interaction with a passionate young winemaker. Visit if you get a chance!
3. Esztergom Basilica / Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 883 reviews
Built in the first half of the nineteenth century, the largest cathedral in Hungary incorporates the red marble Rakocz Chapel, a fine example of Renaissance art.
Reviewed By DerAlteBach - Sydney, Australia
The basilica is an architectural masterpiece. Built in the early nineteenth century, it incorporates the Bakócz Chapel, built by Italian masters between 1506–1507 out of red marble from Süttő. The crypt contains a most moving memorial to Cardinal József Mindszenty. An amusing note: different tickets need to be purchased to visit the various areas of the basilica. Accordingly, there are ticket checkers stationed all over the huge building to ensure that visitors have paid appropriately. The panorama coffee bar is situated halfway up the staircase to the gigantic dome. That part of the spiral staircase is "sealed," in the sense that there are no entrances into the spiral staircase other than at the bottom. Nevertheless, my ticket with first checked at the bottom, and then again when I reached the panorama level, despite the fact that there was no way I could possibly have climbed to the panorama level without passing the ticket checker at the bottom!

Reviewed By Rainbowtravelgirl - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Driving along the lake Balaton we saw the brown road sign " Tihany ". With zero info, we drove up to find an interesting village which happened to be a touristic one to our surprised. Parking seemed not easy to find and finally we found one along the village main road. It was a pay parking. We went up following the direction to a baroque Abbey Church. Wow what an idyllic setting. Calendar-inspired views. One can make a pleasant walk in a well-paved pathways. In the Visitor Center, one can buy a ticket for a guided tour + a short film about the Abbey. I recommend this. Friar Richard guided us. A group of tourist had an spontaneous " choir concert ". Around the Abbey is a Guest House that opens whole year round. There is a pastry shop where you can have breakfast or hot meals. It has a terrace overlooking the placid, serene Balaton Lake. Beautiful. When in Balaton Lake, come to this village and be filled with spirituality too. Had a short stay but very meaningful. The Peace of God !

We take a tour at the zoo on the way home from our honeymoon. I was here with my previous boyfriend in 2007 and since then almost everything has changed, but in a good way. We received a map and a program card with feeding times with the ticket and bought 2 portion of zoo food (only for ungulates!). Some parts of the zoo is under constraction, so we couldn't see everything, but it was a really nice trip. One of the kapibaras lay next to the fence so we could pet him/her, but it's a secret ;) The goats and lamas are really unashamed and made a pig of themselfs by tossing each other away. The wildlife part of the zoo is really nice and big, separated into different zones, one is for savannah animals, one is for camels, monkeys and so on and a new thing for me is the dino park. I think it is mostly for the children, it was a big annoying for me to read the given dinosaur was 9 meter long and I could see a 3 meter long something from plastic(?), but it was really realistic.

It is a Palace of the noble family Eszterhazy. It is beautifully located in the small town of Fertöd surrounded by a very well kept park. There are guided tours in English and German and a little train is running around the garden if it is too hot to walk.
