Absolute Tours

Look up, Budapest!

Yes, at Absolute Tours we run a Christmas Walk, too, and here should be posted a photo of a mouthwatering chimney cake, but hey, everybody just wants to sell, sell, sell! Buy this, buy that at the Christams Markets, at the souvenir shops, at the wine bars, at the restaurants... suffocating, isn't it?

We want to give. Give you an inspiration how to disconnect from the hysteria of seeing everything. We believe that a traveling should GIVE something to explorers that they can take home and SHARE with family, friends, colleagues ANYTIME. This is called EXPERIENCE. That you can pay for, search for or just run into one.

Yes, at Absolute Tours we create experiences but now we want to make the magic happen, so our followers would just 'bump into' one during their festive days in Budapest :).

The Mini Statues of Budapest - Travelmag Around five years ago, mini statues began appearing around Budapest, adding a new dimension to the UNESCO World Heritage Site for those with a keen eye.

👉 Three manufactories were opened around Hungary to produce and distribute the salty sticks to the consumers. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Strudel!

You can have it all around the Carpathian Basin and beyond, from France through Hungary to Bulgaria. But where is this sweet delight originally from? Why do so many countries share it in common? Is there any difference between an Austrian or a Slovakian strudel?

Spread-around Europe strudel started its culinary journey from the Habsburg Empire, more closely from the Austrian and German cuisine. The oldest strudel recipes are from 1696, in a handwritten cookbook which is in one of Vienna's libraries. Although almost everywhere called under nearly the same loanword, Strudel , in Hungarian, strangely enough - or not? 🤩 - we say RÉTES!
