Budapest’s Unicum House (Unicum Ház) opens its doors May 11–17, 2026, at 1 Dandár Street in Ferencváros (1095), inviting visitors into the Zwack family’s world and the story of Hungary’s iconic Unicum bitter. Choose standard or premium guided tours, or book ahead for groups of 15 or more. There’s also a puzzle‑packed escape game waiting for code‑crackers.
What’s On
From May 11–17 you can join Standard and Premium Tours of the Unicum House and try Trezor titka, the on‑site escape room. Both return May 18–24 and May 25–31, then continue June 1–7, with the escape room also running June 8–14. The building regularly hosts events and concerts, so expect a lively calendar.
Spotlight Night: Tömény Romhányi
Mark May 19 for Tömény Romhányi—an evening of nostalgia, music, and humor. The show salutes József Romhányi, born 105 years ago, whose playful language shaped generations. The Romhányi‑session band—János Horváth (keys), Szabolcs Mohai (drums), Kristóf Szabó (bass)—reimagines hits and cartoon theme tunes linked to him, all in a jazz vibe. Fans of The Mézga Family (Mézga család), Doctor Bubó (Dr. Bubó), Master Mekk (Mekk mester), and Cats (Macskák) get a witty, warm tribute worthy of the legend.
The Spirit of Unicum
Unicum, the Zwack flagship bitter liqueur, is a certified Hungarian treasure. Family lore traces it to 1790; the recipe remains a tightly guarded Zwack secret to this day. Guided tours reveal how a once‑medicinal stomach bitter became a cultural icon.
