Subjects : Busójárás is a famous carnival festival held annually in the small town of Mohács in southern Hungary near the border with Croatia and Serbia. Every day during the carnival period, the streets of Mohács are enlivened by parades of the so-called Busó wearing typical wooden masks with goat horns and wool. The climax of the festival is reached on Shrove Tuesday when a coffin, representing winter now at its end, is burned in a huge bonfire in the main square. In addition to the parades, there are dances and concerts by traditional Slavic orchestras.

Recommended equipment : A wide-angle lens for the lively parades in the streets of the city. A telephoto (from 200mm upwards) if you want to photograph the crossing of the Busó from one bank of the Danube to the other.

Best months : Carnival, until Shrove Tuesday.

How to get there : By car, it is just under 3 hours from Slovenia's eastern border (Ledva). From Budapest, always by car, it is 2 hours by motorway.

Visits : The party is open to everyone without paying any entrance fee. For those who come by car there is a paid parking lot (in 2024 cost 3000 forints per day) with the possibility of a free shuttle bus, or a walk of about 25 minutes to reach the center.
