Join us for an exclusive half-day getaway across the border to visit a Hungary freshly reshaped by a political earthquake.

We will explore the charming, historical streets of the Hungarian town of Mosonmagyaróvár!

We plan to visit the Óvár Castle museum, a historical fortress, with its picturesque courtyards, and the Castle Lake. We will step back in time to uncover the rich heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and learn about what lessons the history of the “old monarchy” holds for the modern-day European Union.

Then, in a classic local café, we will dive into gripping conversations about the secrets of the Orbán system, the 2026 Hungarian elections which led to the end of the Orbán-era, and what the future holds for a Post-Orbán Hungary.

Secure your spot for this unique afternoon!
