Cons
–
Kecskemét isn't super well-known to foreign visitors like Budapest or Prague, so it feels a bit off the main tourist trail.
–
Pet fairs like this aren't hugely famous internationally compared to massive shows like the U.S. Westminster Dog Show or big European expos.
–
No dogs or cats for sale might bum out American families expecting those classic furry friends you see everywhere back home.
–
Kicking off at 6 a.m. means you'll have to beat jet lag and get up early to catch the action before it wraps at 2 p.m.
