Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a Facebook video posted on Saturday, that mask wearing in public spaces and on the streets are no longer obligatory. You can read more about it HERE.
Since Hungary has reached five million inoculated, most of the coronavirus restrictions will be lifted starting from today:
- The curfew is over, you can be on the streets anytime
- Opening hours of stores and restaurants are no longer restricted
- Ban on outdoor individual and team sports is lifted
- Up to 50 people can attend private and family events
- Up to 200 people can attend weddings
Furthermore, cultural events, such as dance and music events, sports events and other larger than 500 person events can still only be visited by people with immunity certificates or by underaged children supervised by such person. Outdoor events under 500 guests can be visited by anyone.
We try to keep you posted about updates.

Yeah, just like the last ‘re-opening’ – on a public holiday when nearly everything is shut.
So………..Up to 50 people can attend private and family events .Up to 200 people can attend weddings. Outdoor events under 500 guests can be visited by anyone to.
But as a familie you are not allowed to rent a holiday house or book a hotel without immunity cards…………………..
If the hotel can fully separate vaccinated and non-vaccinated guests or if the family rents the entire house/hotel then the answer is yes, they can.
Dear Péter Licskay,
Thanks for your comment! This is new to me!
Where can I find that it is allowed that way? Otherwise, can you contact me or can I contact you? Thanks in advance!
You can find that part on the koronavirus.gov.hu website, under the latest article about coronavirus numbers. It is about the fifth and sixth paragraph after the numbers.

Péter Licskay,
Thank you verry much!
This is great news for us! A family that wants to rent a holiday home has nothing to do with other people so this is great news!
