Easter Holiday

Just like throughout Europe, Hungarians have rich cultural heritage and follow symbolic rituals at Easter; boys sprinkle girls with perfume while citing one of the funny little poems written for these occasions. According to the tradition, women who are not ‘watered' will fade away – boys couldn't let that happen, could they? In old times, it used to be a bucket of cold water, however today it's a gentler version that's in use. Part of the Easter celebrations (and a favourite among kids) is the painting of eggs. In some regions egg-painting developed into an art form of its own, with local motifs scratched into and embroidered onto the egg – and guess what, sometimes eggs are even adorned with tiny horse shoes.
Eggs with tiny horse shoes we cannot promise, its’ not our profession. What we can promise, is that if you visit Budapest and stay at Opera Garden Hotel & Apartments this spring we will do our best to make your stay a memorable one during the Easter Holiday as well.
