“Let the fat sizzle, let the wine flow!” This will be the vibe on September 27, 2025, when Bogács kicks off its Saint Michael’s Day (Szent Mihály-nap) communal bacon roast in the town’s Event Park. Everyone—families and groups of friends alike—is invited to relax in Bogács, the renowned spa town, and enjoy a first-rate leisure program together. With beautiful surroundings, a fun atmosphere, and activities for all ages, there’s no better place to welcome autumn. Advance registration is required, and remember: if it rains, the event is canceled, so keep an eye on the weather forecast if you plan to attend.
Picking Your Perfect Place to Stay
If you want to turn the bacon-roasting into a full weekend getaway, Bogács has plenty of accommodation options to suit every need. At the Yurt Recreation Center (Jurta Üdülőközpont), you’ll find three unique, round yurt-shaped buildings designed specifically for large groups—everyone stays together, but still enjoys the comfort of separate rooms. For a more traditional stay, five duplexes offer ten apartments, each designed to be accessible, so that every guest feels welcome and comfortable.
Right by the spa’s western entrance are the new Creekside Apartments (Patak-party Apartmanok). Just a short stroll from the Pension*** (Panzió***) entrance, these apartments offer seven double studios (each with extra bed capacity) and one family suite with two rooms, accommodating up to 25 guests in total. It’s the ideal location for those who want quick access to the healing waters and lively spa scene.
Open year-round, the Thermal Camping and Cabins (Thermál Kemping és Faházak) offer a home away from home for campers and caravan enthusiasts. Nestled in the northern part of the spa’s park, the site can host about 250 tents and caravans beneath shady trees, while cozy heated cabins are available for those who want a little extra comfort—even in winter.
For those who enjoy a touch of luxury, the fully renovated Thermal Pension (Thermál Panzió) is just the thing. Nine superior rooms—eight doubles (one is accessible) and a spacious family suite—cater to every preference, whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or solo. The building has been renovated to meet strict “three-star pension” standards and boasts a conference room for up to 50 people, making it an excellent choice for everything from business meetings to family celebrations or team-building sessions.
The Bogács Thermal Hotel Apartments (Bogácsi Thermál Szálló Apartmanok) provide another option with two main buildings (one at the main entrance and one on the spa’s western side). Eighteen rooms, ranging from double to quadruple—most of which can be fitted with extra beds—make it a favorite among diverse groups and families.
Friendly Guesthouses for Restful Retreats
If small-town charm appeals to you, Bogács is home to a number of guesthouses with all the cozy comforts. The Acacia Guesthouse (Akác Vendégház), for example, is located in a peaceful area near the sports field and cellar row—a must-visit spot for local wine lovers. Rooms include private bathrooms, a spacious lounge, a well-equipped kitchen, cable TV, WiFi, and a grassy yard with secure parking, a covered terrace, and a garden grill for open-air meals. It’s ideal for families or groups of up to eight people.
The Ildikó Apartment Guesthouse (Ildikó Apartmanház) offers a quiet, independent stay on a peaceful street within walking distance of the spa and the lively evening wine cellars. Both rooms and apartments are available, all with private baths and kitchens, cable TV, and WiFi. The house fits 10–12 people, making it perfect for larger families or multiple couples. Extras include a lawn, closed parking, a covered terrace, table tennis, and a garden grill for relaxed gatherings.
Another option for those looking for peace but close to the action: a family guesthouse just 440 yards from the spa, tucked away on a quiet street—far from the hustle and bustle of traffic. The house accommodates 10–12 people comfortably and is ideal for families and close friends looking to relax, cook together, and enjoy time outdoors.
Indulge in Food, Wine, and Thermal Waters
Hospitality, service, and relaxation take center stage in Bogács, whether you come for the Saint Michael’s Day (Szent Mihály-nap) roast or just to escape the daily routine. Visitors are invited to reconnect with nature, breathe clean air, soak in thermal water, or visit the famous cellar row for entertainment and local wines. Every detail—from accommodations to activities and food—is designed to ensure absolute satisfaction. All you need to do is arrive ready to unwind, feast, and enjoy everything the region has to offer—especially with bacon and wine taking center stage.
