Tokaj is a small Hungarian town at the confluence of the Tisza and Bodrog rivers, serving as the gateway to the renowned Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region. Visitors explore its historic core, dominated by the 14th-century Rákóczi-Dessewffy Palace and a network of ancient wine cellars carved into volcanic tuff. The town's atmosphere is steeped in wine culture, with cellar tours, tastings of sweet Tokaji Aszú, and views of the surrounding vineyards from the riverbanks. Its compact size makes it easy to walk between landmarks.
Don't miss
- Tour the 500-meter-long Rákóczi cellar system with its mold-covered walls and barrel-lined tunnels
- Taste Tokaji Aszú wines at a historic pince (cellar) in the town center
- Walk along the Bodrog riverfront promenade for views of the confluence and distant hills
