Pápa’s Pannonia Reformata Museum isn’t just about standout exhibitions in 2026—it’s turning up the volume with a special concert series that blends heritage spaces and top-tier performers. Mark January 8 on your calendar: the season opens with BACH 275, a solo concert by Dániel Szurasenkó, anchoring a year that pairs Baroque elegance with intimate, resonant venues right in the heart of town at 6–8 Main Street (Fő utca 6–8). Organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs, so keep an eye out for updates.
When and where
The first confirmed date is Thursday, 01/08/2026, at the Pannonia Reformata Museum, 8500 Pápa, 6–8 Main Street (Fő utca 6–8). The concert, BACH 275 – Dániel Szurasenkó’s recital – brings a finely tuned tribute to Bach’s legacy into an atmospheric setting that makes every note feel close and alive. Pápa’s compact, historic center means the venue is an easy walk from cafés, guesthouses, and the town’s thermal attractions.
Stay the night
You’ve got options, whether you want classic charm, central convenience, or five-star camping by thermal pools. Edvy Malom Fogadó Barokk Udvarház is a lovingly restored watermill 1.9 miles from the Pápa Thermal Bath (Pápai Várkertfürdő). It sleeps 22 guests, making it a relaxed, family-friendly pick. Think quiet surroundings, historical character, and a short hop to the concert action.
Right in the city center, several pensions welcome guests in a straightforward, walkable setup—ideal for slipping from check-in to concert hall to a late-night glass of wine without a car. Holdkő Panzió adds personality: three floors, each with a distinct style but the same quality, offering 14 rooms tailored to different traveler needs. The mood is cozy, the details thoughtful, and the location just right for an unhurried cultural weekend.
If you’d rather roll in with your own wheels, check out Várkert Thermal Camping (Várkert Termál Kemping) next to Várkertfürdő. It’s Hungary’s first—and still the only—campground meeting five‑star requirements, with multiple international organizations awarding it top ratings. This is not your average campsite: expect polished facilities, easy access to thermal pools, and a peaceful base that still keeps you close to downtown and the museum.
Comforts that matter
Many pension rooms are designed for 2 or 3 guests, with an in-room fridge, microwave, cable TV, Wi‑Fi, and showers to cover the essentials. A covered terrace out front is tailored for evening chats and slow glasses of wine. Breakfast is served to guests—on the terrace in good weather, or delivered to rooms if preferred. Parking is free, so you can ditch the logistics and focus on the music.
Eat, sip, linger
Before or after the concert, swing by the Pannonia Reformata Café and Wine Bar in downtown Pápa. The selection is wide and welcoming: specialty coffees, hot drinks, iced soft drinks, soft‑serve ice cream, toasted sandwiches, and cakes—plus a generous beer and wine lineup. It’s the kind of spot where pre‑show anticipation and post‑encore glow both find their place.
