Would you like to feel the spirit of Munich, Paris or Washington in the capital of Hungary, Budapest? What is the common in these listed metropolises? The Oktoberfest!
On 11-12-13 October 2013 girls and boys, young and old can enjoy the famous beer festival at one of the most popular family friendly place of the Hungarian capital. Naturally beer is not the only thing what welcomes visitors; there are lots of other programs too. Besides the great Hungarian beers, visitors can try the famous Bavarian beers too, the traditional Hungarian short drink, the palinka in different tastes and of course the Hungarian kitchen appears as well at the Oktoberfest in Budapest.
If you stay in Budapest between 11 and 13 October 2013, bring your whole family and don’t stop until the Kopaszi Dam. We emphasize that is a family program, because besides the drinking for adults, there are children programs too: tale corner, arts and crafts and competitions.
And when it is enough of tasty beers, foods and games, let’s go to the Culture Street, where troupes, craftsmen, publishers and artists entertain the visitors. And we haven’t talked about the beautiful environment! The Kopaszi Dam is a beautiful park next to Budapest’s famous international river, the Danube, so the view is breathtaking.
Moreover another festival is happening at the same time in district 5, Városháza Park, which is the event of one of the most popular sweets in the Carpathian Basin, the Chimney Cake festival! Have a great time for them!

When the Sun goes down, the city lights are turned on and that is when life starts in the City Park. That is why you can visit the amusement park in all of September from 8 PM until 1.30 AM.
The entrance fee to the festival is about 2700 HUF. You will then get a wine glass which you can use inside the festival area. If you plan on visiting the area for more than one day you can of course buy a festival pass valid for the entire festival period.
The National Gallop is not just a simple horse festival with competitions, it is tradition. The event will be very special, because its place will be an important tourist center, the Heroes Square. The competitions will be around the famous square; beside this you could find the Gallop Promenade and Country Kitchen at the Andrássy Avenue. During the National Gallop, countryside will move to the capital to make stronger the connection between the center and the area. Moreover it could be a great opportunity for those, who would like to meet the Hungarian countryside, but don’t have enough time to visit places outside the capital, while they are here.
