- Békéscsaba isn’t widely known to foreign tourists, so you may need extra planning and time to get there
Cons
–
Event details and registration are likely in Hungarian, so non-Hungarian speakers may need help or translation
–
Public transport from Budapest takes 2.5–3 hours by train; driving is similar, so it’s not a quick hop
–
Compared to big-city food workshops (e.g., Paris, San Francisco), it’s less polished/renowned, though more authentic and hands-on
