Hungary

Hungary is one of Central Europe’s most captivating destinations, a country where history, architecture, culture and traditions come together in a remarkably rich heritage. Crossed by the majestic Danube River and located in the heart of the continent, Hungary is renowned for its elegant cities, castles, abbeys, thermal baths and flavourful cuisine. From the legacy of the Roman Empire to the splendour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, every era has left its mark on the country’s monuments and landscapes.

Many journeys begin in Budapest, the capital, widely regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Divided by the Danube into Buda and Pest, it is home to the magnificent Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, Matthias Church and the iconic Chain Bridge. Budapest is also famous for its historic thermal baths, including Széchenyi Thermal Bath and Gellért Thermal Bath. Other fascinating destinations include Eger, known for its castle and wines, Pécs, with its Roman and Ottoman heritage, Szeged, on the banks of the Tisza River, Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe, the UNESCO-listed Pannonhalma Archabbey, and the traditional village of Hollókő, where Hungarian rural customs have been carefully preserved.

During our travels we discovered a Hungary rich in history, culture and hospitality. Walking along Budapest’s elegant boulevards, relaxing in historic thermal baths, visiting castles, abbeys and historic towns, exploring Lake Balaton and enjoying traditional Hungarian cuisine allowed us to appreciate a country where past and present coexist in perfect harmony. Every region offers its own landscapes, traditions and culinary specialities.
