- Bikal and Élménybirtok aren’t internationally famous, so you may need extra planning to find and contextualize the place
Cons
–
Hungary outside Budapest can be tricky for foreign visitors, and basic Hungarian phrases or translation apps may help with logistics
–
Reaching Bikal may require a car or multiple public-transport connections; not as effortless as city-center attractions
–
Compared to craft studios in major tourist hubs (e.g., London, Tokyo, NYC), this has less name recognition and fewer session times, so flexibility is limited
