when:
Pécs, 13 Tavasz Street is calling. On Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00, the Pécs Brewery (Pécsi Sörfőzde) swings its doors open for a brewery tour with guided tasting—a two-hour deep dive into how beer is made at the country’s oldest still-operating brewery. You’ll get up close to the brewing and fermentation stages, meet the raw ingredients, and finish with a professional tasting in the showroom. Registration is required by Thursday at 20:00, and your spot is only confirmed after you receive a reply. The visit fee is 4,000 HUF (about 11 USD) per person, and it includes the guided tasting. If you’re a group of 15 or more, weekday slots can be arranged, too. Curious? Mark your calendar: tours run every Saturday from February through mid-July 2026, and start based on the number of visitors who show up with confirmed registrations.
Book your spot by email and include your planned headcount; registration closes Thursday evening at 20:00. You’ll get a confirmation—only then is your booking set. If your group exceeds 15 people, the brewery will try to accommodate you on weekdays. On Saturdays, arrive a bit early at 13 Tavasz Street in the 7600 postal zone so the group can form up on time.
The tour is led by brewery staff who walk you through the entire production chain—from the brewhouse where the magic kicks off to the tanks where beer ferments into something worth clinking glasses over. Expect a hands-on introduction to the core ingredients and processes, plus a tasting session guided by a specialist in the brewery’s own showroom at the end. It’s not just a peek at equipment; it’s a practical, palate-first education in what makes Pécs Brewery (Pécsi Sör) tick.

Adele Boutique Hotel brings four-star comfort to a 19th-century protected landmark building in the historic center of Pécs. Rooms and apartments blend old and new in an unusually polished, boutique way. If you’re chasing atmosphere without sacrificing modern ease, this is an easy pick—right in the thick of the old town’s best streets and sights.
Bagolyvár sits above Pécs on Havihegy, where the air is famously fresh. It’s a restful, scenic perch with a sweeping panorama of the city, looking toward the Zengő side. The twist: rooms are decked out with motifs of Hungarian folk art, and six suites mimic traditional wine press houses, each capturing the mood and character of a famous Hungarian grape variety. Downstairs, the restaurant serves hearty Hungarian and international dishes, with a soft spot for classic Magyar recipes and desserts—set against rustic, stylish décor.
Barbakán Hotel is tucked just behind Pécs Cathedral, a stone’s throw from the historic center. This three-star stay offers 16 rooms with two, three, or four beds, plus a conference room and underground parking—efficient, central, and group-friendly. If you’re eyeing a compact base with easy cathedral-and-museum access, it’s got you covered.
Looking for a quiet green pocket? A family-run guesthouse lies in the calm villa district on the Mecsek hillside above downtown. It’s that sweet spot: forest trails within five minutes, and the city in about the same. The zoo and Da Vinci Private Clinic are nearby; the Mandulás recreation area—with playgrounds and fire pits—is just a few hundred meters away. It’s also a launchpad for walking routes up toward the TV tower. Bonus: they offer free guided hikes for groups.
Boutique Hotel Sopianae lives in the city center, marrying a heritage façade with a sharp, modern interior. The service is personalized and discreet, served up with a homely vibe—ideal if you want a contemporary feel inside a nod-to-history shell.
Büdöskúti keyhouse is a rustic, trail-lover’s choice midway between Remete-rét and Orfű, about 800 meters off the main road. You’ll find it along the Blue Trail and Green Cross marked paths. It sleeps up to 12 and feels purpose-built for hikers who want to trade asphalt for birdsong and wake up steps from the forest.
An apartment hotel in the villa quarter puts you minutes from the UNESCO-listed Early Christian Necropolis, the Cathedral, and Pécs’s famous museum street. If you want the UNESCO tick plus urban ease, it’s tailor-made.
Prefer history with your pillows? There’s a fully renovated Baroque-style lodging in the former convent of the Sisters of Our Lady, dating to around 1870 and protected as a landmark. Behind the characterful exterior lies a fully modern stay right in downtown Pécs—heritage charm without the creaks and compromises.
