Pápa is setting the tone for a music-packed season as the Pannonia Reformata Museum pairs its unique exhibitions with a lineup of concerts that take over the town from late 2025 into early 2026. The series mixes charity, classical, choral, and festive performances, many staged in the atmospheric Ótemplom (Old Church). Mark the dates, because the calendar is busy and beautifully varied—and yes, organizers reserve the right to change times and programs.

Luxury rooms are on the first floor, standard rooms on the second and third, many with views of the square and pedestrian street. Inside, medieval arches and Baroque-style wall paintings set a moody backdrop for a break between concerts. The hotel’s bistro-restaurant serves 100% plant-based dishes.
