Tokaj Old Town
Tokaj belváros
A wine town at the confluence of the Bodrog and Tisza rivers, with cellars and tasting houses lining Kossuth Square and the streets around it.
Tokaj Old Town stretches along the banks of the Bodrog River. The main street, Rákóczi Street, and Kossuth Square are lined with Baroque townhouses, a Catholic church, the town hall and an old synagogue. Along the streets you'll find family cellars and tasting houses with wine-barrel signs, where you can taste Aszú dessert wine, Furmint dry white and Szamorodni by the glass. The old town is small, so a walk of one to two hours covers it, and it pairs well with the Rákóczi Cellar and the Tokaj Museum. From Budapest, the train takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to Tokaj station, and it's about a 15-minute walk into town. Book accommodation in advance on weekends and during wine festivals.
Opening hours
All day (tasting rooms mostly 10:00–18:00)
