Why Visit Hungary?

Hungary offers a remarkable blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that rivals any European destination

Thermal Bath Culture

Hungary sits on one of Europe's largest geothermal reserves. Budapest alone has over 120 natural hot springs, and thermal bathing has been a way of life here since Roman times. The ornate Szechenyi and Gellert baths are experiences you will not forget.

Exceptional Cuisine

From hearty goulash and chicken paprikash to freshly fried langos and chimney cake, Hungarian food is bold and satisfying. The country's wine regions, particularly Tokaj and Eger, produce internationally acclaimed vintages worth seeking out.

Stunning Architecture

Centuries of Roman, Ottoman, Habsburg, and Art Nouveau influence have left Hungary with an extraordinary architectural heritage. Gothic churches stand alongside Baroque palaces and modernist landmarks, creating streetscapes that are endlessly photogenic.

Excellent Value

Compared to Western European capitals, Hungary offers outstanding value for money. Quality accommodation, dining, and attractions come at a fraction of the cost you might expect in Paris, London, or Vienna, making it ideal for budget-conscious travellers.

Essential Travel Tips

A few practical pointers to help you prepare for your Hungarian adventure

01

Currency and Payments

Hungary uses the Hungarian Forint (HUF). While card payments are widely accepted in Budapest, carry some cash for smaller towns, markets, and public transport ticket machines. ATMs are plentiful in city centres.

02

Getting Around

Budapest has an efficient metro, tram, and bus network. For intercity travel, the MaV railway connects all major cities. Trains from Budapest reach Debrecen in about two and a half hours and Eger in under two hours.

03

Best Time to Visit

Spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) bring pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and colourful landscapes. Summer is ideal for Lake Balaton and outdoor festivals, while winter offers atmospheric Christmas markets across the country.

04

Language Basics

Hungarian is one of Europe's most challenging languages for English speakers. However, English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas. Learning a few words such as "koszonom" (thank you) and "szia" (hello/goodbye) goes a long way.
