Entdecke Ungarn

Hungary centres on Budapest — one of Europe’s most dramatic capital cities, split by the Danube between the hilly Buda side and the flat, buzzing Pest side. Grand Neo-Gothic parliament, art-nouveau cafés, thermal baths and one of the continent’s most celebrated ruin-bar scenes make it a city that rewards every kind of traveller.

Beyond Budapest, the Balaton lake offers beach-and-wine summer escapes, Eger brings a baroque old town and red-wine country, and the Puszta grassland steppe is a unique European landscape. Hungary is best in spring and autumn, when the tourist pressure eases and the temperatures are ideal for city walking.
