The Queen of the Danube is a place where visitors can spend more than 4 hours without breaking a sweat. The Hungarian capital offers a host of enticing incentive experiences for one or more days. Even if you only have a few hours, Budapest always has something in store. At Conventa’s Try Before You Buy event in Budapest, attendees experienced four intriguing programmes in just four hours. The hands-on experience gives event organisers a taste of what to offer their event attendees. Between 1 and 2 September 2023, we discovered some of the city’s most unusual event venues. The programme was organised by the Budapest Convention Bureau in UNDERGUIDE Travel DMC agency – and Event Experience (DMC).
