About Hungary

Hungary lies in Central Europe, sharing borders with Austria, Slovakia, the Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Hot medicinal springs, spa towns, rustic villages and a rich cultural tapestry infused with a vibrant art and music scene, are just some of the alluring features which draw holidaymakers to Hungary. This fascinating country not only has the world’s second-largest reserve of surface thermal water, but also boasts Central Europe's largest freshwater lake - Lake Balaton. Popular with tourists, this lake attracts those who enjoy sailing and fishing, as well as holidaymakers keen to explore the surrounding countryside.

Budapest is the country’s capital city which sits on a beautiful stretch of the Danube. The city can be viewed as having two distinct regions - the older part of the city – Buda, and the commercial part – Pest. Buda, perched on Castle Hill in the west, with the famous Fishermen's Bastion at the top, is characterized by narrow, cobbled streets and ancient buildings, while Pest, in the east, provides an interesting contrast with its wide boulevards and unmistakable cosmopolitan, modern vibrancy. The Parliament building, St. Stephen's Basilica and the Opera House are just a handful of the great sights Budapest has to offer. This enchanting city also provides the ideal opportunity to take a romantic cruise on the Danube.

The wine-growing region of Northern Hungary shows off yet another fine area of the country with its vineyards, orchards, fast-flowing rivers, lush forests and rolling hills. The region is also home to the Castles of Eger, Diósgyor and Füzér, as well as an array of other historical monuments. Northern Hungary has three national parks, namely Aggtelek, which boasts Europe’s largest stalactite cave; Bükk, which is the country’s largest national park; and part of Duna-Ipoly, which lies between the Rivers Danube and Ipoly.
