How will you spend the extra time?
You could go ice-skating under the stars beside the fairytale castle of Vajdahunyad
or climb up to the turreted Fishermen's Bastion for stunning views of the city.
Or perhaps you'd rather just cosy up in a thermal spa and forget the chills of winter.
Book your stay in one of the 60 hotels now.

Whole month: Masterpieces of Five Centuries from the Esterházy Collection

Location: Museum of Applied Arts

The Esterházy family's private collection can deservedly be counted among the most important aristocratic treasuries of the Baroque period, and it is the only Hungarian aristocratic collection of this period which survived the vicissitudes of later centuries largely intact. The Museum of Applied Arts, together with the Esterházy Privatstiftung of Eisenstadt, will for the first time present the two parts of the collection in a joint exhibition. The exhibition will include about 130 objects: goldsmith works, jewellery and ceremonial weapons, luxurious textiles and costumes, as well as large-scale portraits of Esterházy family members.
