Visit to the Skanzen

Four-to-five hours private tour to fantastic Skanzen; enter the spirit of the countryside as it was at the end of the 19th century. Handicraft masters work in the houses and yards, sheep bleat in the detached farmstead, the water mill is crushing grain, and the delicious smell of strudel comes from the bakery. The buildings are arranged just like they were in the original villages, and you can get to know the daily lives of adults and children through the objects they used. Travel around the museum on a horse-carriage and taste the garlic and cream flavored traditional fried dough made in original furnace. The price of the program includes the entrance fees and the rate of horse carriage. 

The ethnography of Pest County is shown in the House of Folk Art. Antiquities from the Roman town of Ulcisia Castra can be seen in the Museum of Roman Stonework Remains. Skanzen, the open-air Ethnographic Museum has the largest ethnographic collection in Hungary with 340 buildings in 10 sections.
