Pope, Hungary
There is a small town in Hungary that offers tourists the opportunity to take an unusual but highly rewarding day trip. Only 164 km (120 miles) from the city of Budapest, Papa is a traveler’s dream. Through cobble stone streets and among ancient churches and palaces galore, the town is the perfect unusual day trip from Budapest.
Every year many tourists visit Budapest to get that authentic Hungarian experience. Traveling outside of Budapest is a very unusual trip for tourists to Hungary, but exploring beyond the capital is a way to truly appreciate the country. The pope is not far from Budapest and offers everything that a prisoner in Hungary could ask for.

From Budapest there are two convenient routes to the Pope. First, hiring a coach will cost as little as 19 coins and will allow you to drive to the Pope in less than 2 hours. There is also a train that costs about 20 coins for a round trip and will take 3 hours each way. Both of these options are available at Budapest Airport.

The Pope has a lot to do. In addition to walking through the ancient cobblestone streets that make up the Kossuth Lajos utca area, there are historic churches to visit, Pope’s Park, shops, restaurants, the Eszterhazya Palace, and the fully functional water parks.
Walking Area
Located between the two largest churches in the city, the “walking area” in Pope City is busy anytime of the day. Full of people shopping, crafting coffee and eating ice cream (during spring and summer), the walking area is the heart of Pope . Most shops close from 12-1pm for lunch Monday through Friday, at noon on Saturday and all day on Sunday.

Spending money in Hungary certainly won’t hurt your wallet. Hungary is in the market, which is weak against the dollar, the euro, and the dollar. The shops offer authentic Hungarian products, in addition to merchandise from all over Europe. Most clothing, clothing made in Italy, can be found in abundance. Leather is offered in many shops and is cheap.
Bride to drink
At any time of the day, I am aware of the possibility of going into one of the many “drinking shops” around town. For around 1 euro, you can enjoy beer, wine or palinka, a traditional Hungarian fruit brandy. Please be reminded that there is no tolerance for drinking and driving in Hungary.
There are a few bars in Papa’s that you have to get on board. Brick walls, dark colored wooden furniture and dark lighting make these establishments very rare. Two bars of this type are both located in the walking area, Ordog Pince Pub and James Joyce.
Restaurant
Restaurants are not scarce in Papa, so that traditional Hungarian food, as well as international food, can be served. For a nice lunch, leave the walking area and find your way to Jokai Mor utca. The Stork’s Nest (Golyafeszek Vendeglo) offers indoor and outdoor seating, weather permitting, and serves the best goulash in town. Goulash is a traditional Hungarian soup and must be eaten while you are in the country. For a meal, order a traditional Somlo cake, and for your drink try a wine from the local region of Somlo. Enjoy a delicious hot meal for two for under 10 coins.
Churches
The Roman Catholic Church, crowned with a cross, and the Reformed Church, with a star at the top of the tower, are two large churches on either side of the walk. Both churches have a very heavy visitation. The times in which the churches are open fluctuate, but taking pictures from the exteriors of both churches is legendary.
