Description:

Hungary's vast Puszta (flatland) is a World Heritage Site framed by the ancient Danube and Tisza rivers. Explore Kecskemét, the gateway to the plains, and watch an arresting horse parade at a country ranch. Relish a hearty feast and live music in a local csárda—a traditional Hungarian tavern.

Swap Budapest's urban density for the open landscape of the Great Plains, where a more laid-back lifestyle prevails. Discover the town of Kecskemét, learning about its history as a city center to the Southern Great Plain, and walking its streets and Main Square to appreciate the colorful baroque and art nouveau architecture.

Journey to a ranch tucked into a quiet corner of the countryside, enjoying far-reaching views of grasslands over 20,000 square miles (50,000 sq. km). Upon arrival, be greeted by pálinka, a local fruit brandy, and pogácsa, a savory scone. Relax among meticulously restored farm houses and authentic draw wells under old walnut trees.

Enjoy a carriage ride on the property, and watch spirited horsemen riding wild studs and presenting their acrobatic skills on horseback—a truly unforgettable and uniquely Hungarian spectacle. Afterwards, sit down in a local tavern, feasting on flavorsome Hungarian dishes while a live orchestra plays folk songs for your enjoyment.
