Hungary

Hungary perfectly combines the charm of the past with a lively modern culture, attracting travelers looking for variety. The heart of this blend is Budapest, its capital, split by the Danube River. Here, you find historic highlights like Buda Castle and the Chain Bridge, showing off Hungary’s rich history. Away from the city buzz, Lake Balaton offers a peaceful retreat, ideal for chilling out or exploring nearby vineyards. What really makes Hungary special, though, is its delicious food and friendly people, always up for sharing some goulash or a glass of Tokaji wine. From relaxing in thermal spas and exploring historic sites to enjoying vibrant folk traditions, Hungary invites you on a memorable adventure in Eastern Europe.
