Timeline

  1. 14:45

    Dióhéj Cafe and Bistro

    Grab a coffee and a pastry. The café is open until 19:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before heading out.

  2. 15:05

    Convent Garden

    Walk five minutes west to the Convent Garden. This walled park was once a prayer area for nuns, with winding paths and ponds. Arrive just before the golden light hits its peak to find a quiet spot by the water.

  3. 15:45

    Lamp Museum

    Head back toward the Lamp Museum. The collection of 1,200 lighting devices feels especially relevant as the natural light begins to fade. Check the exhibition while the late afternoon sun still filters through the windows.

  4. 16:15

    Faház Pub

    End your evening at the nearby pub. It is open until 22:00, giving you time to relax with a drink after your walk through the historic center.

Local tip

The Lamp Museum closes at 16:00 in winter. Make sure to enter before then if you want to see the inside, or simply enjoy the exterior as you pass on your way to the pub.
