​

Hungary is a country of innovators and original thinkers, its capital, a dynamic and inspiring city. The country has an incredibly rich and varied food tradition reaching back millennia, including a strong Jewish influence that's at the heart of the country's dynamic food scene. From the regional cheeses, the incredible wines, cured meats, incredible breads, pastries, and elegant multi-layered tortas, Hungary has it all!

 

Join us and discover just how much more there is to Hungarian food than goulash!

 

Introducing Budapest! The River Danube splits Budapest into two parts – Buda and Pest – which sit on opposite sides of the river, connected by the mighty Chain bridge making this sophisticated capital, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. This is a city that glistens with a metallic eosin glaze, which gives brightly coloured Zsolnay tiles the lustre that makes Budapest's skyline glitter. Most of the action happens in Pest, on the east of the river, where there is a score of smart restaurants and boutiques. But on the other side is the magical Buda Castle and some of the city’s most famous thermal baths which makes this city beautiful, trendy as well as therapeutic.

We will then visit one of the most Ancient Historical Sites in Hungary - A Benedictine Monastery. We will drive through the Hungarian countryside near the Austrian border, to a living Benedictine Monastery which is also one of the most ancient historical sites in Hungary dating back to 996!

 

AN EVENING OF HUNGARIAN FOLK

Few European countries express their indigenous music and dance to the same artistic standard as Hungary. One of the best ways to experience this timeless art form is to attend a traditional folk dance performance. 

 

The performing group consists of 30 dancers and about 20 folk musicians and through them, we'll witness Hungarian cultural heritage at its very best.

WHY TRAVEL WITH US?

Hear what past guests say about us....

"This trip to Portugal was a once in a lifetime experience. Our intimate group of 10 learned more about the cuisine, viticulture, wine-making, history and architecture of Portugal in 11 days than we thought possible. The trip was meticulously planned and executed by Devaki Das and we would enthusiastically recommend you consider taking a future trip with Weave A Thousand Journeys"

​"I cannot do justice to the amount of detailed planning that Devaki did for this trip.  From the hotel accommodations and travel arrangements to the restaurant reservations and winery visits, everything was first class.  The group was small enough that it had a very intimate feel.  I would highly recommend a “Weave a Thousand Journeys” to anyone who loves good food and wine, interesting conversation, exploring different cities and architecture and has a sense of adventure!
