As summer fades, the country comes alive with harvest festivals and a revival of cultural life. The many shades of autumn begin to appear in the forests, mountains and valleys. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a nature lover or a culture seeker, Hungary offers a wealth of experiences to enjoy during this enchanting season.
August is one of the hottest months of the year in Hungary. But don't let the heat stop you from exploring many parts of the country and its vibrant culture. Regardless of the summer weather, there are plenty of programmes and festivities to enjoy.
In the peak of summer, when the Hungarian countryside is bursting with life, we urge you to venture out and savour the juicy, ripe fruits and freshly harvested vegetables that are characteristic of the area. July is also the perfect time to honour the pioneering Hungarians who have excelled in academics and sports.
After you finish your exams, summer can finally start. With the sun up until late and warm air lingering into the evening, several festivals and outdoor activities will be held this month. We encourage you to celebrate football with the Hungarians, pick some lavender at Tihany, and enjoy the nightlife all around the country.
If you are an international student in Hungary, you must know that in May Hungarians have several traditions and events to celebrate. From May trees, through Mother’s Day, until Children’s Day, there are numerous programmes to visit during the whole month. Check out our list!
