Cons

Gyula isn’t widely known internationally, so fewer “bucket list” bragging rights
–
All stops are viewed from the outside, so museum and interior lovers may feel shortchanged
–
Limited schedule and day-before in-person ticketing can be inconvenient for spontaneous travelers
–
English availability isn’t clearly stated; without Hungarian, you may need to confirm language with the Tourinform office beforehand
