Fantastic place to visit! This museum is part of the yellow tourist bus line. I highly recommend hopping off here. English speaking guide, many interesting facts about Hungary we got to know during the visit. I would recommend this place for sure

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.
*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.
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
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 :)
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.
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.
Loved this museum. Quite an unique and different thing to try while in Budapest. Staff was super nice. History is really interesting - you learn a lot from the video and also roaming around the exhibition. There is a free WiFi, so you can play the online audio guide while exploring. We got to taste Unicum and made sure to buy some from the shop. You can’t beat their Unicum prices anywhere else.
