VJ Bi i iV4U H— Székely Land, Budapest & Northern Hungary September 11-26 by Endre Csornán THE WPA TOUR 2013 will focus on Székely Land (Transylvania). The tour will depart on Wednesday Sept. I I, and include 14 days and 13 nights in Budapest, Székely Land and northern Hungary. The deadline for reservations and complete payment is June I. We will have room for a maximum of 30 people on this trip. Travelers will stay in beautiful hotels, ride in an air-conditioned bus and have an English-speaking guide. Our guests will enjoy breakfast and one other meal daily. Some mornings will be free for optional sightseeing tours. Our itinerary is scheduled to include: • Several days exploring Székely Land, with visits to a Calvinist Church, Torockó's main square, the Unitarian Church, the Székelykő (Transylvanian Rock) and the Museum of Ethnography; • An excursion to Gyimesbükk for a Csángó feast with kürtőskalács and wine and dancing; • A stay at the Danubius Health Spa Resort, featuring saunas, an indoor swimming pool, steam baths and a wide range of medical treatments. This resort is near Lake Bear, the only helio-thermal lake on the continent which heats up to 50 degrees Celsius due to sun energy absorbed through the upper, fresh-water layers; • Time at the National Gallop equestrian festival at Heroes’ Square. Heroes' Square will turn into a 6,200-square-meter racetrack where horse riders from all over the country show off their fine riding skills and beautiful horses. The National Gallop is not only a unique equestrian festival but also the grandest celebration of Hungarian food and drinks; • A visit to the famous shopping district near Váci Utca and Vörösmarty Square; • Dinner on a Danube River boat cruise; • Free time to explore Budapest; • A stay at a thermal and wellness hotel; • A sightseeing tour of St. Mihály Catholic Cathedral; • Free time to explore in Mezőkövesd or Eger; • Dinner at Rózsa Restaurant with Gypsy folk music and colorful Matyó dances; • AND MORE!
