Hungary Travel

Few cities in Europe can match the magnificence of Budapest, with the imperious buildings on the hills of Buda overlooking bustling Pest, separated by the majestic Danube.

The Hungarian capital is cultural, historical and gastronomic delight, but there is much more to Hungary than its multi-cultural capital. Germans have been spending their summers for years at Lake Balaton, while wine lovers are heading to Eger in increasing numbers. For a country that was until recently at the very heart of the Austro-Hungarian empire, there is a wealth of historical attractions awaiting the curious visitor.
