Zwack Unicum Heritage Centre, District IX
The Zwack Family and Unicum
Discover the story of the Zwack family and their iconic elixir. This is more than a museum; it's a journey through a century of Hungarian history, design, and resilience, with a truly unique taste at the end.
Few Hungarian brands carry as much history as Unicum. The Zwack family’s herbal liqueur survived two world wars, nationalisation and decades in exile — and came home when the family bought back the company after the fall of communism.
The visit tells that story through the distillery, the cellars and a remarkable collection of design and advertising, and ends, of course, with a taste.
