Voykit pocket guide · Hungary

Füzesabony

Spend a half‑day in Füzesabony; train from Budapest 1½ h, see the historic Pfaff station, grab a quick bite and return.

Füzesabony is a small transport hub on the northern Great Plain. With a 1½‑hour train from Budapest you can visit the historic railway station, the local history collection and a few eateries in a few hours, then head back. One half‑day is enough unless you plan a day‑trip to nearby Tiszafüred.
