Located in Budapest’s District IX, the Zwack Unicum Museum offers a spirited journey through the history of Hungary’s iconic herbal liqueur, Unicum. Housed in the original distillery known as the “Heart of Unicum,” the museum traces the Zwack family’s legacy from its 18th-century origins to its post-communist revival. Visitors begin with a 270° film projection that immerses them in the brand’s story, followed by a guided tour through the historic distillery and vast cellar housing over 500 oak barrels. Highlights include tastings of Unicum variants straight from the cask and a gallery showcasing 17,000 miniature bottles—the largest of its kind in Central Europe. Personal artifacts, vintage posters, and interactive exhibits reveal the resilience of the Zwack dynasty through war, exile, and innovation. The museum shop offers branded souvenirs and liqueurs, while QR codes throughout the exhibition unlock deeper insights. Blending heritage, craftsmanship, and sensory experience, the museum is a must-visit for those seeking a taste of Hungary’s cultural and culinary soul.
