How to celebrate Christmas like a hungarian

Christmas in Hungary is a joyous and deeply cultural holiday, full of ancient folk traditions, delicious foods, and meaningful celebrations with family and friends. Many Hungarian Christmas customs reveal the strong Christian background as well as remnants of old pagan winter solstice rituals.

The Christmas season traditionally begins on December 5th with Mikulás Eve, when children polish their shoes and place them on the window sill hoping St. Nicholas will come and fill them with candy, small toys, and fruit. Some naughty children may find a golden…

Why visit Budapest?

Why visit Budapest?

My slightly biased opinion on the subject

You ask why you trust my opinion, since as a Hungarian I am certainly biased about the capital of my country. I have to say that I have been to many places in the world, I have seen amazing places.
I see Budapest’s special appeal in the many cultural influences that have affected the city throughout its long history.

On a short walk through the city, you can come across ancient Roman ruins and street art, Art Nouveau buildings, Europe’s largest synagogue…

Namesday celebration 2.

As mentioned in my previous article, in March we celebrate Dad’s and my namesday together, so we are going out to one of our favorite restaurants.
To celebrate a namesday is something very traditional in Hungary.
Certainly we celebrate birthdays too, but in the past, when Facebook or our smartphones didn’t remind us, a lot of people did not know about the date of your birth.
This time, we picked a Sunday where our little family could get together to celebrate us.
I like the restaurant we go to a lot.
It is in my hometown, Székesfehérvár.
They…

Food tasting tour Budapest

Join us for a foodtasting tour in Budapest!

If you are interested in food, like we are, then join us, local hosts, at NelliciousTravels to learn about Hungarian culinary culture.

I believe the best way to discover a country, is through its food, since you don’t only see, taste and smell but also get to know a lot about a nations culture, history and mentality. Everything else you can read in travel books or online, but to eat and drink with a local, like myself or my lovely co-hosts, Csilla and Roxy, at selected locations, is a complete different experience, a truly authentic one.

When joining us, you get an idea how and what we eat and drink. Why Hungarian food has always the colors of red, orange, rose…

Have you visited the Budapest Mangalica Festival?

Budapest launches a great number of gastronomic festivals yearly. One of them is the mangalica festival, which just took place this year in February.

Mangalica pig? What is that?

In case you’ve never heard about the mangalica, let me introduce this special looking Hungarian swine to you.  It is mostly blonde but has always long curly hair. At first glance you might think it’s a sheep, but it’s not. It’s a cold breed which is resistent against cold and illnesses, is not forced into cages, can run around outside and have a life before landing on our plates with its deliciously full flavored and low cholesterol meat.  It has an over 200 years old history and it’s becoming more and more…
