Welcome to Hungary! This Central European country is full of culture, history and beauty. From bustling cities to serene countryside, Hungary has something for every traveler, young or old.

If you’re looking for city life with a unique flavor, Budapest is the place to be. Here you can explore the Buda Hill Castle District and take in stunning views of the Danube River. At night, the city comes alive with eateries, bars, and clubs that make Budapest one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals.

Venture outside of the city and you will find some of Hungary’s best-kept secrets. Pécs is an ancient town filled with wineries, museums and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Or, if you’re looking for some relaxation time, try Lake Balaton – a large freshwater lake where visitors can swim, sunbathe on the beaches or enjoy activities like sailing and windsurfing.

Fun fact: Hungarian is one of the few languages in the world that doesn’t have any relationship with other languages. So if you feel like practicing your language skills, Hungary is the perfect destination!

For those who are looking for an off-the-beaten path experience, head south to Villány – known as Hungary’s wine country. Full of cobblestone streets and vineyards, this region is a hidden gem where travelers can taste locally made red wines and get a glimpse into Hungary’s rural life.

Whether you prefer exploring big cities or taking it slow in a peaceful rustic village, Hungary has something to offer everyone. From its amazing food, vibrant culture and one-of-a-kind language, this country is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories.
