Warm weather persists into the beginning of September, and provided we wear our masks and keep a safe social distance, there are loads of fun activities to check out this weekend. On the top of our list are these five festivals, from wine to short films, to celebrating ancient Roman culture and more!
1/5
Budapest Wine Festival
The Budapest Wine Festival usually draws a big crowd, but this year safety precautions means the event will be smaller and more regulated. Tickets must be purchased for specific time slots to ensure participants don’t overcrowd the area. Nonetheless, wine lovers will enjoy tasting the premium wines and delicious food available at the festival, which takes place in the Hunyadi Courtyard of the Royal Palace.
