Forget Royal Ascot, Hungary's oldest race track is the place for betting and booze. But there won't be picnics and champagne, we're talking dirt cheap beer, wine and spirits. The former glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the weight of communist era ineptitude make this a unique experience.
You get:
- A lovely, local guide to meet you at your hotel
- Transport to and from the track by private coach
- Entry to the race track
- Your personal guide to gambling
- A round of beers

- Minimum group size of 8
