- Events and references (puppet show, Pál Feri talk) are very Hungarian; not widely known internationally
Cons
–
Limited English: talks and shows will likely be in Hungarian, so language skills or translation help are needed
–
Public transit requires a bit of planning (suburban bus schedules, fewer late-night options); driving is easier but parking can be tight at peak times
–
Smaller scale than major European festivals—great for mellow travelers, but thrill-seekers may find it underwhelming compared to bigger city events
