Nagykónyi’s current tourist attractions include a modern playground and an amusement park. Together with the autumn grape harvest parade, they offer different points of interest: some visitors are interested in leisure activities, while others are drawn to a vibrant local tradition. If you would like to plan your trip around a festival, check the dates in advance.

Viticulture is also part of the lives of local residents today. When planning, it is worth distinguishing between the local tradition and the specific leisure activities on your itinerary.

Saint Roch and the Szent Rókus Chapel are associated with historical religious customs. Saint Roch’s Day on August 16 was a votive feast day for the people of Nagykónyi; a mass was held in the chapel on that day. After it was built, worshippers regularly went there in processions with church banners, candles, and lanterns to ask Saint Roch for protection from disease. These accounts describe historical practices.

Saint Vendel is regarded as the patron saint of livestock keepers. Another historical point concerns the villages around Nagykónyi: a cholera epidemic ravaged the area in the first decade of the 19th century. Together, these topics offer different perspectives on local history: religious customs, patron saints, and the experiences of the people of that time.

The wider travel destination of Tolna also includes attractions and things to do in other towns. Tamási Thermal Spa offers a sauna world, leisure pools, and medicinal water. The Pacsmag Lakes are an important Hungarian habitat for the strictly protected Ferruginous Duck. These examples appeal to different interests: swimming and sauna facilities alongside a protected habitat for a rare bird species.

In Szekszárd, the Babits Mihály Memorial House is located in the more than 200-year-old Kelemen House; it is a literary memorial site.
