Had a day I Budapest after a Danube River cruise/bike tour. Booked the English tour. Brigitte was our tour guide. She was really great and made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend this tour and museum visit. I liked the history in the museum as well as the vast mini bottle collection.

The exhibition wasn't open when we went, but we only had to pay half price and the experience was still more than worth it. The cellar tour and tasting was really fun and unique. And the shop offers really great prices on Zwack products!

We really enjoyed this museum. It begins with learning about how the company started and the family that still runs it today. They talked about advertising and how the company survived the war. The museum itself has so many things to look at. The miniature bottle collection was a very pretty bonus. The highlight of the tour is going down into the cellars and tasting the Unicum. It's a really unique taste and they have 4 flavours to try; original, plum, coffee, and the reserve. I really liked the reserve. This was a well done tour with a very nice gift shop at the end.

(Translated by Google) I can recommend. An interesting little film was made about the family and the history of the plant. The presenter is sympathetic, enthusiastic and constantly expands his knowledge of things related to the plant, eg the origin of advertising posters, etc. The relics are interesting, interesting things can be found all over the world. The store in the museum offers surprisingly friendly prices with a wide selection. (Original) Ajánlani tudom. Érdekes kis film készült a családról és az üzem történetéről. Az előadó szimpatikus, lelkes és folyamatosan bővíti a tudását az üzemmel kapcsolatos dolgokban pl reklám plakátok eredete stb.. A relikviák érdekesek, a világ minden tájáról lehet találni érdekességeket. A múzeumban található boltban meglepően barátságos árak várják a vásárlókat, széles kínálattal.

We visit the museum, saw the history of the Zwack family and tasted the different Unicum's flavors. At the end you have a little store. Everything was great. Love it.

(Translated by Google) Nice place :) Wine tasters are also very cozy. The museum is also interesting. It is worth visiting at least once. (Original) Kellemes hely :) Borkostolók is nagyon hangulatosak. A múzeum is érdekes. Érdemes legalább egyszer ellátogatni.

My friends and I (a group of six) bought tickets for the guided tour of the museum in advance. We had a lovely time even though we were part of a large visiting group. Our visit started with a short movie, and then we were shown around the old distillery, the underground cask room and the museum. Our guide was very friendly and the Unicum drinks she served us were tasty. I definitely recommend this fun tour for anyone over 18!

A very interesting plece with history, alcohol and nice people 📌 You can taste the drinks and enjoy an interactive tour.. :) The architecture of the building and the history of the place are very interesting. You're going to enjoy ur time there👍

(Translated by Google) Unicum = If not filtered it will taste even finer. Family = victory of tradition. (Original) Unicum=Ha nincs leszűrve még finomabb az íze. A család= a tradició győzelme.

(Translated by Google) We really liked the very impressive family history, the biography told in film and lecture. Museum and shop as well, recommendable! (Original) Sehr beeindruckende Familiengeschichte, in Film und Vortrag die Biographie erzählt, hat uns sehr gefallen. Museum und Shop ebenso, Empfehlenswert!!

Our tour guide was very good. Wasn't dragged out and wasn't quick. Had great knowledge and gave us tasters.

(Translated by Google) The experience far exceeded our expectations of the 2,500 forint tour. The program began with a 20-minute video. It was sweet in terms of content anyway, but sometimes the sound quality was so poor that it couldn’t be understood. And let's face it, no one alone would pay! After that, the factory visit part began. The guide was kind, but his wording was a robe, clumsy, sometimes meaningless sentences left his mouth. Yet it was not a big challenge in terms of his tour guide responsibilities. The maximum 20-minute round we did covered: viewing some dried ingredients and 2 old distilleries, followed by a 5-minute walk in the pizzeria and tasting 2 types of unicum. He also had a maximum of 10 minutes of text, benevolent, that's all. In the end, it blew us so that if we wanted, we could even see the museum, yeah, and there was a "shop" where we could shop. Well, it didn't bring my enthusiasm. I wish Zwack owners / managers to find someone who will be able to bring this program to life with lots and lots of work and creativity and why it will be worth asking for money and not just because they give a tasting. (Original) Az élmény messze alulmúlta az elvárásainkat, amiket a 2500 forintos túra támasztott. A program egy 20 perces videóval kezdődött. Tartalmilag amúgy édekes volt, de néha olyan rossz volt a hangminőség, hogy nem lehetett érteni. És hát lássuk be, ezért önmagában senki nem fizetne! Ez után kezdődött a gyárlátogatás rész. Az idegenvezető kedves volt ugyan, de a fogalmazása pongyola, esetlen, helyenként értelmetlen mondatok hagyták el a száját. Pedig idegenvezetői feladatkörét tekintve nagy kihívása nem volt. A maximum 20 perces kör, amit megtettünk, a következőket takarta: némi szárított alapanyag és 2 régi lepárló készülék megtekintése, majd a picehelyiségben tett 5 perces séta és 2 féle unicum kóstolása. Jóindulattal is maximum 10 perces szövege volt, azt bemagolta, ennyi. A végén úgy eresztett minket szélnek, hogy ha akarjuk, akár a múzeumot is megnézhetjük, ja, meg "shop" is van, ahol vásárolhatunk. Hát nem hozta meg a lelkesedésem. Kívánom a Zwack tulajdonosoknak/vezetőknek, hogy találjanak valakit, aki sok-sok munkával és kreativitással képes lesz élettel megtölteni ezt a programot és amiért érdemes lesz pénzt elkérni és nem csak azért, mert kóstolót adnak.

(Translated by Google) I recommend it to everyone with a pure heart. Cheers! (Original) Mindenkinek tiszta szívből ajánlom. Egészségükre!

What a delightful experience, the kind that causes both touristy lols and genuine childish excitement. Especially if you like big machines and barrells (I do). The tour starts with a film. It is a biiit like a long commercial, at times do over the top that it's comedic, but that's ok (there are also some interesting historical elements in it of course). The best part of the experience is the visit to the cellar, and it would be the best and interesting even without the tasting! It's existing to visit a working distillery! The museum is full of interesting artefacts and the photo booth gave us the ultimate lol experience. (I say it without irony). Kudos to the guide (Kristoff?) for being patient with our dad jokes and questions about everything.

(Translated by Google) It was an interesting performance with valuable rewards, the place is amazing, the tradition they represent speaks for itself. I can only recommend. (Original) Érdekes előadás volt, értékes jutalmakkal, a hely csodálatos, a tradíció amit képviselnek magáért beszél. Csak ajánlani tudom.

(Translated by Google) Heaven itself. 🙂 Apart from a joke, you can learn everything about the history of the Zwack family and Unicum. I would make it mandatory. (Original) Maga a Mennyország. 🙂 Vicven kívűl, mindent meg lehet tudni a Zwack család, és Unicum történetéről. Én kötelezővé tenném.

Good history and background of how Unicum comes about and resilience to stay in business. Creatively create more flavors and lets face it that it’s an acquired taste for the wine that is to help your stomach.

Highly recommended! Really nice place with a super guiding; thanks to Ádám.

Discovering Unicum factory. We purchased a Hop on Hop off pass during our last full day in Budapest. Ultimately, we stopped at the Zwack Unicum Museum because it was a designated stop. We actually recommend the Hop on Hop off in Budapest, because some of the main points are dispersed. So it's a quick way to access and discover the main attractions. We never heard from Unicum prior to visiting Budapest. So this got us curious about the famous drink from Hungary. We decided to give it a shot and we are happy to have discovered. Just to be clear, the museum is on the route but there is still a fee to enter. FYI, it was approximately $10 CAD to enter. The tour. During your tour, you will get the typical information about the factory, the history and how they got started. There is a guide that shows you an overview of the receipt and herbs they use. There is a specific way to store and treat the ingredients and of course a taste test of two types of Unicum liquor. Personally I (Eli) thought really strong but Serge seemed to like it! Near the end of the tour, they bring you to an old artifacts room. This is where they keep all the different bottles used over time, Unicum advertising, etc They also have a gift shop. So if you want, there's a possibility to bring a Unicum souvenir back home. Serge: 4+ Eli: 4 Do we recommend: Yes, we really liked the experience. It's something new and unique from the city of Budapest. Tips: 1. Check the hours of operation. They were very accommodating since we arrived right at the cutoff time 2. Get ready ! Because this drink is strong

(Translated by Google) The story itself is captivating. The road from the past to the present. The family and Unicum itself, which is a bit for all of us ... Nice to see you again. Other ... I read a very critical remark below. I can't judge the lady's vision, demands (snobbery), I'm not an officer. One for sure. Exquisite and high-quality exhibition. It would have a place anywhere in Europe. I say this despite the fact that for the second time unfortunately we could not watch (covid) the full presentation. I recommend it from a pure heart. And not just because of the tasting. Well ... I liked that too ... (Original) A történet maga lebilincselő. Az út a múltból a jelenbe. A család és az Unicum maga ami picit mindannyiunké... Örülök, hogy újra láthattam. Más... Lent olvastam egy igen kritikus észrevételt. Nem tudom a hölgy látókörét, igényességét (sznobizmusát) megítélni, nem is tisztem. Egy biztos. Igényes és színvonalas kiállítás. Európában bárhol megállná a helyét. Mondom ezt annak dacára, h másodszorra sajnos nem tudtuk megnézni (covid) a teljes bemutatót. Tiszta szívből ajánlom. És nem csak a kóstoló miatt. Na jó... Azért az is tetszett...

It's a big ad for a really weird liquor... Meh at best !

A hidden gem. This place was recommended by my brother in laws Hungarian cleaner and it was really interesting. The old distillery with all the old barrels was really cool. The drink itself is something of an acquired taste but the history of the factory and the family is amazing. I was strangely taken by their huge collection (thousands) of miniature bottles.

A very interesting place, the home of the famous Hungarian liquor. The visitors may see and smell some of the ingredients, learn about the history of the family, take a walk in the cellars and taste the cask strength version of Unicum. The museum offers a lot to see and read - about everything related to the Zwack company. In the merch shop you can buy a lot of memorabilia, Unicum itself and other spirits as well.

amazing tour. English tour is limited so better to ask before or book online before i became to love Unicum thanks s lot!

Zwack Museum is great! We loved the museum, distillery tour and gift shop. Highly recommended. We had the 2 samples and definitely enjoyed the Plum.

Great museum to visit. Selection in their shop is amazing. I visit this place every time I'm in Budapest. It's definitely worth my time as I can't do this often. I'm from Canada.

Fascinating history of the Zwack family, the Unicum drinks, and Hungary from WW2 to present. Impressive cellars and casks.

I got one Unicum Riserva from their shop for my dad. It tasted great 😄 Probably the price of drinks here are the most affordable in Budapest

Enjoyed the tour of the facilities and trying out the liquor which is more unique to Hungary. It was a good way to spend an hour.

Really kind staff, nice atmosphere, perfect English guide and a truly unique history is shared with those who come here. A must see for those who are interested in Hungarian history.

It is a great place to visit. This is the destillery of the real Hungarian (very tasty!) drink, nice guide!

Amazing experience and it was awesome to taste the Unicum directly from the barrels. Really rich storytelling and perfect organization. Loved it!

The distillery and museum of the famous Hungarian spirit, which I had so much of but only got to know the history of lately. The tour starts with a documentary about the story of the company and its products, centered around the Zwack family and how the business was founded, lost and taken back to continue the tradition. The tour continues with a guided visit to the old distillery (shout out to our guide Marko who was extremely nice and enthusiastic 😊), with the tasting of the 4 kinds of the spirit that the company produces, right from the barrels! After the distillery tour, the guests are oriented to the museum where many artifacts are exposed (old products bottles, pictures, posters… all related the history of the company, it was very interesting). The house accommodates all kinds of visits for either locals or tourists (English available) and also private group visits (like a team building for example). There’s of course a gift shop where you can buy the house drinks and special merchandise, plus other partners’ products. Recommended!

Excellent experience. Did a tasting tour where you can try the different flavors straight out of the barrels. They also have the largest collection of mini bottles from around the world. Definitely worth a visit and a great way to learn a little history with a drink.

We had a team building here. It included a guided tour, tasting and museum entry. The guide was really kind and well informed, we enjoyed our time very much.

(Translated by Google) A place that deserves to be visited (Original) Un posto che merita essere visitato

Great history. We were fortunate to have the grandson of the founder as our guide.

Very interesting history and collection of the evolution of the Unicum brand. Massive collection of miniature bottles. Audio guide available. Tours should be booked in advance to ensure availability.

Pretty small yet unique museum of a famous hungarian liqueur, I fully recommend this place whether you like Unicum or not. The english guide was very good as well, told a nice bit of story in fluent english.

I had not heard about Unicum before visiting. What an unique liquor with an interesting history. The tour was very well done and included tasting in the underground cellars of 4 varieties of Unicum. I definitely recommend visiting!

Amazing tour of Unicum, such a well presented and extremely nice museum and factory. This is an ultimate tour quality and totally prepared for all international visitors. I would just leave a recommendation to make the intro video a little shorter, I believe it's to long and repeats itself a couple of times.

A great place to visit while you're in Budapest We booked a tour online. If you're interested be sure to book early because it seems the slots fill up fast. The tour was a lot of fun. It includes about a 20 min video of the family history and then a tour of the facility plus tastings. They have 4 flavors but we only sampled two. It would be nice if the tours included a sampling of all their flavors considering it was only 4. The flavor of the unicum was ok. The original was too bitter for me personally but the plum was sweet. Overall, a fun experience.

Mielenkiintoinen museo kierros, Zwack perheen upea historia.

Excellent museum for learning and seeing how to make Unicum. You can sample some flavours and also see history.

A very nice place holding the museum of Unicum. The location isn’t far away from city center, so is easy accessible. Take a guided tour! Worth the visit!

Great tour, great video, good museum, and even the shop is very well priced. That is uncommon for a museum shop, but the merch is actually cheap there Even if you're not a fan of the drink, I recommend visiting!

Lots of fun and plenty of free samples to give you a buzz. Unicum translated from Hungarian means "unique" given its name by the emperor who took it to help with his digestive problems. The history of the product developed by the Zwack family is very interesting. Also very interesting that the communist took over the business but the family was eventually able to get it back. It probably helps some because it is 80 proof alcohol but the unique blend of herbs gives it a very unique "somewhat bitter and medicinal" flavor. However the more untraditional flavors of plum and coffee are more palatable and the reserve which is made with adding a wine but still 80 proof goes down easier. Still the hungarians I believe prefer the traditional and they consume most of it in their country. It is not exported to the USA according to our guide because they will not disclose the very secret family ingredients to the FDA. The tiny liquor bottle collection of I believe 17,000 bottles is unique if you're into bottle collections. It was apparently donated by someone who had hoarded all these little bottles. His wife probably told him to get them out of the house, that's my conjecture. If you're looking for something unique to do in Budapest this is the tour. Lastly, the water man is their trademark and a scary dude at that.

(Translated by Google) We arrived late but were treated flexibly. They were very kind. I liked part of the museum. One of the relics from the old plant would make it even more interesting! (Original) Késve érkeztünk, de rugalmasan kezelték. Nagyon kedvesek voltak. A múzeum része tetszett. Egykét relikvia a régi üzemből még jobban érdekessé tenné!

Interesting tour - worth a visit to trace the Zwack family through time.

Excellent tour and a very interesting place to visit. The story of this family business which has been patronized by Royalty and heads of state for 200 years gives a feel for the many changes in central Europe. The staff are all very friendly and our guide was very knowledgeable and charming. Well worth a visit, expect to spend up to 2 hours here.

It is a unique place where you can see the history of the famous Zwack company and also see an impressive amount of their competition's products. If you are interested in different types and shapes of bottles, this is your place to visit.

The museum is amazing: it deserves more than 5 stars. The story of Zwack family is so inspiring and such an amazing example of the resistance to life obstacles. The museum is extremely beautiful and entertaining. Tasting is great as well, of course. Generally, it is an experience which deserves your time in Budapest. Don't miss the shop :)

*Required* visit for all tourists, this tour gives a real sense of a family through six generations, through wars, having what they built taken from them by the government, starting new in America, buying the original building and rebuilding again in Hungary, into the modern day with highest quality products and the best marketing I've ever seen plus one of the largest collection of mini alcohol bottles in Europe. The family has kept their recipe secret for over 200 years and continually cared for the community through various contributions.

Definitely the place to visit when you are in Budapest. Great museum with more than 17,000 items. Tasting world wide famous herbal liqueur directly from the barrel in the cellar. It is awesome! Staff also very friendly and highly professional, able to solve any issue just in a moment.
