09:00 - Departure of Tour A

Pre-conference activities

For our guests arriving early we intend to organize activities prior to the opening of the

conference on Friday (Day 1). Possible programs:

visiting a beautifully restored Turkish bath (Friday morning, men only);

visiting the Gellért spa (Friday morning to noon);

visiting the Parliament (Friday early afternoon).

The programs are subject to interest. Signing up in advance for the Parliament building is essential

due to strict security procedure. We will announce the exact programs and their fee later.

Meanwhile feedback if there is any interest will be appreciated.

Post Conference Tours

Post conference tours are the highlights of all Rotary conferences. Not only will you see places

you would otherwise probably never go to, but you will also be part of a wonderful company. For

all of us infected with the RI YEP, the Youth Exchange officials make a fantastic, diverse group of

people from which no one would want to be left out. There are several Tours every year, in

various parts of the world, but each of them is completely different offering different adventures.

Hungary is a small country in the heart of Europe. A small nation of great importance; with

history bridging more than 1100 years. A country with fantastic cultural heritage; with musicians

and scientists who have contributed to the world far beyond the size of the country.

Despite Hungary is among the thirty most popular tourist destination of the world, probably the

majority of the EEMA2012 participants have never been to Hungary, or not beyond Budapest.

Hungary has a lot to offer, a lot of places to visit: beautiful scenery, architecture from the Roman

era to contemporary design, world class wine production (or, as we say wine manufacturing, due

to the size of wineries) and renowned gastronomy.

We are planning two tours to two entirely different parts of the country. Tour A will lead to

Western Hungary, to the more developed part of the country with pretty medieval towns,

beautiful castles and the largest lake in Central Europe (Lake Balaton). Tour B leads to Northern

Hungary, which is more traditional with beautiful scenery, thermal water, the world famous

Tokaj wine.

What is included in the price?

Accommodation in good quality hotels. Normally hotels are 4* quality, in some places we

have to compromise to 3* (because of lack of hotel selection). Single room for delegates

coming alone, double room for those arriving with their partners. At least one hotel has

spa*;

Breakfast in the hotel, lunch in restaurants along the route;

Travel with luxury coach. The country is small; distances are short; the majority of long

distance travel on excellent motorways, some trips on more remote (and slow) roads.

Distance covered during a day will normally not exceed 200 km or 3 hours on the bus.

Dinner in good restaurants; many evenings include cultural programs;

Meals include food, water and coffee, only alcohol is paid separately;

Wine tasting programs (modest fee is charged);

Cultural programs: visiting museums, the Pannonhalma monastery, the Eszterhazy castle

in Fertőd, the world famous Herend porcelain manufacturing, cruising on Lake Balaton, a

traditional and a state of the art modern winery in Tokaj, horse riding show, etc**;

(*) the quality of the hotel depends on the location. We cannot guarantee everybody

staying in the same hotel. We do our best, however, to make sure that everybody stays in

hotels of similar quality.

(**) the final programme is subject to change

Please note that some of the destinations are remote, where accommodation is limited. Early

registration helps us to provide a place to everybody.
