The 4 Horse Riding in Hungary That Earn Their Price

1.Puszta Horse Show and Countryside Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 131 reviews · 8 hours · from $133Our pick

Leave Budapest for Kecskemét and a traditional farm near Lajosmizse. You will watch skilled horsemen, ride in a horse-drawn carriage, taste pálinka, and eat goulash, grilled chicken, dessert, wine, and mineral water. Guides including Gabriella and Maria have made the day especially engaging, though the long bus rides and animal-care concerns may matter to some visitors.

“Great food, music and entertainment. The horses need shade from the hot sun and it doesn't look good to have one guy sawing on the mouth of his horse and another punching his. Otherwise well presented”
