Budapest Daytrip: Nitra, Slovak Idyll

Melanie SeftonMarch 22, 2007

International Bonsai, Suiseki, and Tea Exhibition.

This year the exhibition will run from April 12 to April 15 in the Agrocomplex of the Agricultural University.

There is also a rich and varied café life in Nitra, and plenty of good restaurants. Recommended are the brynzové halušky (noodles with ewe’s cheese and sour cream) and Slovak beer, which has an excellent and well-deserved reputation. Na zdravie!

Nitra can be reached by train out of Budapest’s Nyugati (West) station. The journey, via Nové Zamky, takes approximately two hours.
