Cons
–
The event isn’t internationally famous, so you’ll need to plan details yourself rather than rely on big-name-tour buzz
–
Pécs isn’t as well-known to foreign visitors as Budapest, so first-timers might feel off the beaten path
–
Some shows or storytelling may be Hungarian-only, which can limit depth for English-speaking kids
–
Schedules can change per the organizer’s note, so flexibility (and backups) are a must
