Abstract

The memory of Ferenc II. Rákóczi (1676–1735) and the “Kuruc Age” is an important part of
Hungarian identity. His life and era was a truly turbulent period in the Hungarian history.
Rákóczi's memory in the 20th century survived several political regimes, so its popularity was
almost unbroken. In the 21st century, however, the question arises as to how this „kuruc
romance” can be achieved in action in tourism, and whether it still has appeal. Our research
aims to show how heritage tourism in the Kuruc era is performing at the beginning of the 21st
century with the help of clear aspects.
