From one angle, the stones almost look like skulls. The beehive stones in Szomolya have 117 cabins, the most in any beehive stone group in Hungary.

Wellness and sightseeing

If you want a relaxing long weekend with your significant other, you should definitely check out one of Hungary’s many beautiful baths. Or, if you want to bring your children along, there are many child-friendly spas and baths as well.

Many baths are located in beautiful cities, so a day of sightseeing is also a must. Here is a list of baths that have reopened so far. Make sure to follow the protective measures, so everyone can enjoy themselves safely.

Festivals

While most of the big festivals, such as Sziget and Balaton Sound, had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, many of the amazing smaller ones are still happening. The slight problem is that most of them have been rescheduled to the same weekend. However, there are not only music festivals worth going to.

  • The Levander Festival of Tihany is on until the end of June.
  • The Balatonboglár Harvest Festival will take place between August 19-23. This is Hungary’s biggest free-entry festival.
  • The Flower Carnival of Debrecen will be happening August 14-21.
  • Debrecen will also host a long series of events, called Campus Eleven, as their Campus Festival had to be cancelled. The event series will take place between August 19 and September 19.
  • The Paloznak Jazz Picnic Festival will also be held near Lake Balaton between August 20-22.

Although Sziget will not be happening, smaller festivals are worth visiting, as you may discover many amazing Hungarian performers and bands.

Everything wine, beer, and food

If you are a fan of beer, there will be boat rides in Budapest each night, starting July 1st. The events include the tasting of handcrafted beers, music, and a boat tour of the beautiful Hungarian capital. You can check for more info and tickets here.

There are also wine tastings if beer is not your thing, for which you can get tickets here. Or, if you want to bring your partner on a romantic date night on the Danube, you can definitely check the romantic dinner option here.
