Mohács

Visit Mohács for a half‑day to see the historic square and memorials; add a night if you want to attend the Busójárás carnival in spring.

Mohács is a small Danube town 185 km south of Budapest, known for the 1526 battle site and the annual Busójárás carnival. Its sights cluster around the main square, so a few hours suffice, with an extra night for festival dates.
