Cons
–
Not family-friendly at all with the beer tastings – leaves kids or teetotalers out in the cold.
–
Pécs isn't a household name for American tourists like Prague or Munich, so it might feel like a hidden gem hunt.
–
No mention of English tours, so Hungarian skills (or a translation app) probably needed, which could be a hassle.
–
Kicks off in 2026 only, so if you're heading to Hungary sooner, you'll have to miss out.
