Bábolna is packing 2025 and 2026 with events, markets, concerts, and family fun across multiple venues. From the adrenaline of international show jumping to the scent of grilled street food and the boom of fireworks, the town lines up experiences year-round. And yes, there’s a thermal bath that turns back time to the old rural world.
Dates to Lock In
On December 28, 2025, the traveling pop-up cinema Mozgó Mozi rolls into Bábolna, bringing films to the community in an easygoing, intimate setup.
Then mark September 11–12, 2026, for the 27th Bábolna Corn Festival (Bábolnai Kukorica Fesztivál), one of the region’s most beloved fall happenings. Expect family programs, a bustling producers’ market, kids’ favorites, performances by local acts, a spectacular strongman contest, and big evening concerts capped with fireworks and parties that run until dawn.
Soak, Unwind, Repeat
The Bábolna Beach and Thermal Bath claims a first in the country: a thematic bath evoking the rustic rhythms of the old peasant world. It’s nostalgic, playful, and seriously relaxing.
Stay in Style
Right inside the historic Stud Farm (Ménesudvar), the Imperial Hotel (Imperiál Hotel) welcomes guests year-round with 11 twin rooms, 3 double rooms, 4 triple rooms, and 1 single, each with a private bathroom. Total capacity is 41 people, perfect for a quiet base between concerts, tastings, and late nights.
Eat Local, Eat Well
Craving proper Hungarian comfort? Choose from freshly fried specialties, fish dishes, and desserts with honest, homestyle flavors. Order generous platters and pizzas to go if you’d rather feast at home or at work. The menu spans Hungarian and international picks with a strong focus on fish. There’s a kids’ menu and a play corner, too.
The Albatross “free-from” Cake Workshop (AlBatrosz „mentes” Süteményműhely) specializes in treats free from gluten, lactose, milk, celery, and eggs, crafted for people with diabetes, food intolerances, or anyone seeking healthier desserts without sacrificing taste.
Komárom Calling
Komárom’s newest restaurant, guesthouse, and event hall blends homestyle flavors with spacious interiors and a private inner courtyard—ideal for candlelit dinners, family gatherings, or a quick lunch menu that still feels special. Bahía serves rich buffet breakfasts, bistro-style lunches and dinners, plus fresh Italian coffee and easygoing drinks. Since 2008 in downtown Komárom, one cozy spot has drawn inspiration from the ship—symbol of freedom, travel, adventure, and discovery—to create a friendly, characterful hangout.
More Tastes and Sips
Fans of Hungarian cuisine will feel at home at Flamingo Restaurant and Café (Flamingó Étterem és Kávézó). Air-conditioned comfort makes it a safe bet in any weather, and the team can host private events on request.
Between Győr and Komárom in Gönyű on the old cobbled road, find à la carte dishes, changing weekend specials, weekday menus, and a wide drink selection—premium beers, good wines, coffee, lemonades, cocktails—all framed by a refined setting and dreamy Danube views.
Wine and Rest Near Pannonhalma
Herold Cellar (Herold Pince) is the youngest winery in the Pannonhalma wine region, set at the foot of the abbey in the Gesztenyés-horog. The cellar’s roots stretch back about 800 years—once used by the Benedictines as a tithe cellar. Bought by the family in 2010, this hand-carved loess and sandstone labyrinth was expanded and finished in 2014 using nearly 100,000 slitter bricks. A constant 55.4°F pairs with modern stainless steel tanks for reductive wines, with select lots aged in oak depending on grape quality.
In Pannonhalma, the Pannon Guesthouse offers rooms with flat-screen satellite TVs and private bathrooms, plus a terrace, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary private parking. Nearby, Izsóp Restaurant and Bistro (Izsóp Étterem és Bisztró) serves refined flavors for an easy, satisfying stop.
