- Gyula's a hidden gem but barely rings a bell for most U.S. folks compared to Budapest hotspots.
Cons
–
Historic downtown walks are dime-a-dozen internationally, nothing wildly unique here.
–
Train or bus from Budapest takes 3-4 hours, not the easiest day trip by public transport.
–
Probably led in Hungarian, so without basics you'll miss some juicy details.
