Voykit pocket guide · Hungary

Ócsa

Spend half a day in Ócsa: Peasant House Museum and Reformed Church, then return to Budapest same day.

Ócsa is a small historic village 10 km southeast of Budapest. Its main sights – the Peasant House Museum and the 13th‑century Reformed Church – can be seen in a few hours, so a single half‑day visit from Budapest is enough.
