- Busó Museum (Busó Múzeum) — A small but essential stop: see the original wooden Busó masks, learn how the costumes are made, and get the backstory on the town’s famous winter carnival so you know what all the shouting is about before you hit the streets.
- Busójárás carnival route and mask-makers’ workshops (seasonal) — If you’re in town for late February, nothing beats walking the actual streets where the UNESCO-listed Busójárás comes alive: masked parades, torchlight, and locals in full traditional kit. Even out of season, some makers open their workshops by appointment.
- Mohács National Memorial Park (Mohácsi Nemzeti Emlékhely) — A sobering, well-kept memorial area that marks the site and memory of the 1526 battle; good signage, contemplative spots, and perspective on why Mohács matters

- Mohács Town / Local History Museum — Compact and well-curated: folk costumes, river-plain archaeology, and exhibits on everyday life here — useful for making sense of local traditions you’ll see around town.
- Danube promenade (Dunakorzó) and river port — Walkable riverfront with benches, ferry activity and great sunset light; simple pleasures like watching barges, grabbing a snack, or starting a bicycle ride into the floodplain from here.
- Calvary hill (Kálvária) and its viewpoint — A short climb gives a nice panorama over Mohács and the Danube; the religious stations and little chapels are quiet, photogenic, and popular with locals taking evening walks.
- Kossuth Lajos Square (main square) and local monuments — The town’s social heart: cafés, a market vibe on certain days, and a handful of monuments that anchor Mohács’s public life — good for people-watching and coffee breaks.
- Mohács Jewish cemetery — A respectful, atmospheric place that documents the town’s once-significant Jewish community; poignant and worth a slow walk for history-minded visitors.
- Public Busó sculptures and folk-art installations — Scattered around the town center are carved Busó statues, painted masks and small outdoor installations — low-effort, high-character photo stops that show how deeply the carnival is woven into public space.
- Mohács Cultural Centre (Művelődési Ház) and local event venues — Check the schedule: local concerts, folk dance nights, and temporary exhibits offer the best chance to see living culture rather than just displays — ask at the museum or tourist office for current listings.
