It’s a seldom-seen trove swinging its doors wide just for the day.

Meeting point: Tourinform Office.
Duration: about 1.5 hours.
Guide: András Pintér. Ever wonder what a tour guide wrestles with daily? Sifting hard facts from seductive legends, navigating science, culture, and conflicting sources—while keeping everyone informed and entertained. With nearly two decades on the job and a skeptic’s mindset, Pintér walks through vivid cases where commitment to truth faces off against feel-good lore. He digs into why credible communication is tougher than ever in a Google-driven world awash in unreliable or contradictory info. Go behind the scenes and discover how truth can out-thrill myth.
Meeting point: in front of the Tourinform Office.
Venue: Hiemer House.
Duration: about 1 hour.
