Cons
Veszprém itself isn’t a globally famous city, so first-time U.S. visitors may need extra planning versus going to Budapest or Vienna
Some artist names and program notes are local favorites and may be unfamiliar to international audiences
Public transport late at night can be limited; families may need to rely on taxis or a rental car after evening shows
Compared with mega-festivals in the U.S. or Western Europe, the scale is smaller and the city has fewer late-night entertainment options
