With the help of great partners, we offer you to taste the various products of Hungary.
Let it be meat, jam, fruit or vegetables, chocolate or coffee, we can take you to the nicest places in the downtown. We visit markets to sample traditional ingredients as well as bio products. During the tour you can taste soup, the soul of Magyar cuisine, artisan ice-cream and hard candy at a family run business. Chocolate specialities will make your mouth water and great coffee awaits you at historical places. Ideal before and after lunch.
Surely, you have heard of Goulash (we actually spell it Gulyás), paprika and maybe pálinka. They are basics in traditional Hungarian cuisine, of course. We usually start a “proper lunch” with soup, but did you know we also have several vegetable and fruit soups we enjoy in summer? Hungarians do use a considerable amount of paprika but it`s not necessarily hot and you can also get paprika paste sweet or spicy… And besides the strong pálinka spirit “which can virtually be made of any fruit jam is made of” – as a funny saying goes, there are quality wines and artisan beers accompanying a dish.
The latest revolution in Budapest has been a more quiet but more enduring one, the “culinary revolution” of the last 6-8 years. So there is a wide range of products and places you can choose from.
Budapest has celebrated Christmas for a thousand years, since the reign of St. Stephen, the king who founded Hungary and encouraged the spread of Christianity throughout his realm. As you ramble through the Christmas Market on Vörösmarty Square, admiring the handmade porcelain, stop to watch as kürtos kalács (a pastry) is baked on rods over an open fire and then coated with sugar before it’s handed to you.
In Bratislava, where a lively young art scene is revitalizing the compact city core, stalls abound with traditional Slovakian Christmas items such as medovníky (spiced ginger cookies) and šúpolie (figurines made from corn husks). Experience Uniworld’s exclusive “Taste of Christmas” program in the heart of Vienna during the day.
Glorious baroque architecture, delightful concerts and ravishing scenery will make this Christmas season unforgettable as you sail through the holidays on the Danube.
Please note that most Christmas Markets in Europe end their season on the 23rd of December and will not be available after that date.

If you can, take an extra day at each end of the trip. Everyone in my group loved both Prague and Budapest! Could’ve spent a week in each city on this trip, but we saw the highlights and had a variety of experiences that made it definitely worthwhile.
TD and driver were so much fun and made our trip even better.
