An incredible international success story is unfolding within the walls of Szentendre’s Green Event Hall. The exhibition has become the center of a global milestone, having reached the magical number of over 2 million visitors in Europe and contributing to more than 4.6 million visitors worldwide. The lucky record-breaking guest will be welcomed with a special gift package presented upon arrival.

“When we first started organizing bringing the Harry Potter exhibition to Hungary, we hoped it would attract strong interest among Hungarian fans, but the love and enthusiasm we have experienced since opening day has exceeded all our expectations. It is truly wonderful to see the joy on the faces of both children and adults as they step into the exhibition. One of the most memorable moments for me was seeing a couple taking photos of each other with tears in their eyes among the sets of the Great Hall of Hogwarts™, before asking me to take a picture of them together. They told me that years ago their first date went so well that they ended up going to the cinema to watch the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, and they have been together ever since.”– said Gábor Guba – Managing Director of Green Exhibition Ltd. Further added … “The icing on the cake is that the magical 4.6 million global attendance record in
the history of the international tour is being reached right here in Szentendre!

This is an enormous recognition and an incredible milestone for our entire team. We are proud that, thanks to the extension until June 28, even more people will have the opportunity to experience this fascinating behind-the-scenes magic up close and bring a little tangible wonder into their everyday lives,” told Gábor Guba, Managing Director of Green Exhibition Ltd.

Presented by Warner Bros. and Imagine, the exhibition welcomes visitors with immersive design and interactive experiences. Guests can embark on a breathtaking journey through iconic moments from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films while admiring original costumes and authentic props up close. The captivating visual world also transports visitors into the universe of the Tony® Award-winning stage production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child™.

Harry Potter to close in three weeks … worthwhile to go for it! Be sorry if you missed it.

Herald News: The Haier & Candy Brands provides nationwide coverage for customers

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , .

In Hungarian homes, refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers and air conditioners are no longer just convenience extras, but the basis of everyday operation. According to a 2025 household appliance survey covering ten European countries, 64.5 percent of respondents replaced their previous appliance due to some kind of malfunction. Haier Hungary Kft.’s renewed, direct, nationwide service network offers an answer to this very problem: The aim of the modern service structure is to make repairs simpler, more transparent and faster.

Every third Hungarian household is a single-person … The role of large household appliances has increased dramatically in recent years, especially because the structure of Hungarian households is also changing. According to the 2022 census, every third household in Hungary was single-person, meaning that more and more people live in homes where they have to replace or repair a faulty refrigerator, washing machine or cooking appliance alone.

Consumer expectations are changing in parallel … Households are not only monitoring the performance, energy consumption or price-value ratio of appliances, but also how fast and transparent they can expect to be after the purchase.
This is especially true in a market where household consumption is picking up again: according to the Central Statistical Office, in the first three quarters of 2024, actual household consumption increased by 3.2 percent and household consumption expenditure by 4.1 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

Fast and predictable repairs are also a key issue because in many households, breakdowns still often lead to appliance replacement. According to the 2025 Smart Consumers Home Appliance Survey, which covered ten European countries, 64.5 percent of respondents replaced their previous appliance due to some kind of malfunction. This shows that the quality of the service background is not only a matter of convenience, but also a factor that influences the lifespan of the appliances and purchasing decisions.

In response to this changing market environment, a renewed, direct Haier service network began operating in Hungary on April 15, 2026. The network operates with 30 service partners, divided into regions, providing nationwide coverage for customers of the Haier and Candy brands. The aim of the new structure is to make the service processes faster, more uniform and more customer-friendly, thus allowing more appliances to remain in use for longer.

In the new system, service-related inquiries are received through a unified customer service channel. According to Haier, the more direct, nationwide service structure not only helps with faster repairs, but also strengthens trust in the brand. The goal is for service to not be a complicated, difficult-to-follow process for customers, but rather a natural part of the brand experience.

At the end, the band came out of hiding and “felt” that I was there live from behind the Iron Curtain and singing like that. I sang in Japanese in Japan, the band there liked it, and they asked me to sing it on their album. We were also in Australia for a month. Before one of our performances, they said, “the attendance at Hungarian shows is low.” It ended up being a sold-out show, and an Australian couple fell in love with us so much that they followed us everywhere by plane and learned the songs in Hungarian.”

The 46° Balaton Borbusz – Balaton WINEBUS …Hop-on-Hop Off

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Hungary, Lake Balaton - Hungary, Tourism, Travel, Wine around Hungary. Tagged: , , , .

Mid-May to the end of September – Summertime treat for wine lovers.

This summertime brings a real winery tour around the Northern part of Lake Balaton.

Namely with the 46° Balaton BORBUSZ – Balaton WINEBUS.  The first Hungary’s hop-on hop-off service around Balatonfüred-Csopak wine region. This way, guests can discover the region’s most beautiful wineries at their own pace, without the need for a car, taxi or pre-booked wine tour.

The heart of the experience is the bus itself: a 1984 retro, convertible DAF vehicle, the first half of which is covered, the second half completely open – completely unique of its kind, the only bus of its kind in the world. A true spectacle on the roads, where not only the destination, but also the journey itself is part of the experience.

The name of the 46° Balaton Borbusz refers to the geographical features of the Balatonfüred–Csopak wine region: the region is located near the 46th parallel north, in the same prominent European wine-growing belt as many iconic wine regions – Bordeaux, Burgundy or the Rhône Valley.

You can get on and off freely at any stop. If you miss, you can continue in the next round.

Some locations can be reached by smaller vehicles and this will be announced in advance by the host.

The famous wineries on a single day: Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Balatonszőlős, Csopak and Paloznak, with a frequency of 90 minutes. drops off passengers at a total of 5 stops, from Tihany to Balatonfüred in the morning and back in the evening. For those arriving from the south coast and those staying in Tihany can also comfortably join the program.

Two routes, two different worlds … The program is available 4 days a week – from Wednesday to Saturday – from mid-May to the end of September.

On Pentecost Sunday, the Balaton Borbusz – Balaton WINEBUS awaits visitors with a special route. The services depart from the center of Balatonfüred, from Vitorlás tér, in the morning, and return to the same place at sunset. The ” Old Friends” route runs on Wednesdays and Thursdays and visits the region’s most famous wineries in a single day: Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Balatonszőlős, Csopak and Paloznak, with a frequency of 90 minutes. The ” Hidden Treasures ” route takes passengers on a nearly 60-kilometer journey of discovery through the hills of the Balaton Uplands on Fridays and Saturdays … they visit mainly smaller, family-run wineries in Balatonfüred, Pécsely, Mencshely, Óbudavár, Szentantalfa, Tagyon and Balatonakali, with the service initially running every 120 minutes.

22 wineries, stunning panorama! A total of 22 award-winning wineries await visitors on the two routes – the number is expected to increase further during the season. Most of the stops offer unparalleled views of Lake Balaton or the Pécsely Basin.

The soul of the experience is the bus itself … recalling the 1984 retro feeling. It is a convertible DAF vehicle. The first half of which is covered, the second half completely open … completely unique in its kind, the only such bus in the world. A special transfer is provided for holidaymakers in Tihany. With the returning shuttle, also visiting the Tihany ferry, picks up and drops off passengers at a total of 5 stops, from Tihany to Balatonfüred in the morning and back in the evening. For those arriving from the south coast and those staying in Tihany can also comfortably join the program.

“Wine cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires the young, and makes weariness forget his toil.”

Don’t be a square … I mean be there not to skip out from a rememberable journey.

Flash News: Football Champions League Final @ Budapest – Hungary

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainment. Tagged: , , , , , , , .

Due to the UEFA Champions League Final in Budapest on May 30, Városliget (City Park) will be transformed into the official fan zone of Arsenal FC. Due to the tens of thousands of foreign fans and the strict international security closure, no other programs – including pre-Children’s Day events – can be held in the park on Saturday. The restrictions apply only to Saturday, and on Sunday, May 31, Children’s Day will be held undisturbed, in a clean and safe environment.
Hosting the world’s most watched annual sporting event in Budapest is one of the biggest logistical and security challenges in the City Park’s more than two hundred-year history. The park will perform three tasks at once this weekend: it will host the official fan zone of one of the finalist teams, it is the immediate neighbor of the four-day international fan festival taking place in Heroes’ Square, and it will play a key role in welcoming, moving and transporting foreign fans.

On Saturday, May, 30, special flights arrival to the Liszt Ferenc International Airport will continuously transport Arsenal fans to Városliget (City Park) from the early morning hours.
The exact route and schedule of the fan movement: Main axes within the park: Fans move along the Konrád Adenauer Street – Zichy Mihály Street, and to the Kós Károly Promenade.

Around 3 p.m. The huge pedestrian procession begins along the Olof Palme Promenade to the venue match, the Puskás Arena.
After the match … Fans will flow back to the park area along the same routes, from where buses will transport them back to the airport.
Timeframes: Preparatory work will begin on Friday, and demolition will begin after the Saturday game, around dawn on Sunday, and will be completed by Sunday morning.

Városliget Zrt (City Park Ltd) highlighted that the weekend’s implementation is the result of one and a half years pre-planning work, and the organizers indicated the space usage requirements immediately after the Budapest location was selected at the end of 2024.

Full Saturday closure … Security and logistical plans have been prepared for months in close co-operation between UEFA, the Hungarian Police, BKK (Budapest’s Transportation), Volánbusz and the English authorities. The security zones and traffic management protocols agreed with the police apply uniformly to the entire park – regardless of the physical distance of the individual venues from the fan zones.

Due to the extent of the measures, no other parallel events can be held in the park area on Saturday, May 30th.

Constant vehicle traffic and safety lanes are incompatible with the calm and family-friendly atmosphere of a preschool program.

Due to the huge visitor load, the event organizers have officially committed to fully covering the costs of any restoration work that may become necessary. The professional restoration will be carried out with the assistance of the specialists of Main-Gardening Ltd.

Városliget Zrt. (City Park Ltd) are preparing for the entire weekend with maximum operating capacity and reinforced staff, from visitor infrastructure and restrooms to park maintenance and security tasks.

Children’s Day without any disturbances!

Since the last Sunday of May is Children’s Day, Városliget Zrt. asks civil organizations and institutions to submit their land use requests for the weekend of the Champions League final exclusively by Sunday, i.e. May 31. By Sunday, the demolition works will be completely completed by the time the park opens, the fan logistics will be closed, so all parts of the park will be accessible and safe. The park’s iconic attractions … including the Grand Playground, which has already welcomed more than four million visitors, the KRESZ Park (Traffic Park), and the sports fields – await families undisturbed.

The Városliget Zrt (City Park Ltd) asks all visitors, international fans and Budapest families alike, to strictly adhere to the laws and norms of community coexistence, and to use public spaces peacefully, respecting each other’s presence.
