Cons
–
Sopron isn't a household name like Budapest or Salzburg for U.S. travelers, so it might feel off-the-beaten-path without the hype
–
Some acts like KalapĂĄcs JĂłzsef or local orchestras are big in Hungary but unknown internationally, so you might miss the star power of global names
–
It's in 2026, so planning far ahead from the U.S. could be a hassle with flights and schedules shifting
