Budapest, split between historic Buda and buzzing Pest, reveals elegant bridges, literary caf\u00e9s, covered markets and architecture ranging from art nouveau to neoclassical palaces. Hot waters bubble up everywhere: Sz\u00e9chenyi and Gell\u00e9rt baths, Ottoman-era hammams, and unique thermal lakes such as H\u00e9v\u00edz. Along the Danube and Tisza you\u2019ll find castles, basilicas, museums, concert halls and a culinary scene on the rise \u2014 from paprika-spiced classics to characterful wines.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"1434\">Beyond the capital, the country invites varied escapes: Lake Balaton with its inland beaches, the volcanic hills of Badacsony, Tokaj\u2019s storied vineyards, the Danube Bend citadels (Esztergom, Visegr\u00e1d, Szentendre), and art-filled towns like P\u00e9cs, Eger and Szeged. The vast Hortob\u00e1gy National Park (the puszta) showcases steppe landscapes, horses and migrating birds. Compact and accessible, Hungary is easy to explore by train or car, with stays ranging from design-led urban hotels to family-run pensions \u2014 perfect for trips that blend culture, relaxation and nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"1436\" data-end=\"1479\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Practical information about Hungary<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"2099\">\ud83d\udccd <strong data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1495\">Capital<\/strong>: Budapest<br data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1508\" \/>\ud83d\udc65 <strong data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1525\">Population<\/strong>: Around 9.6 million inhabitants<br data-start=\"1557\" data-end=\"1560\" \/>\ud83d\udcb6 <strong data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1575\">Currency<\/strong>: Hungarian forint (HUF)<br data-start=\"1599\" data-end=\"1602\" \/>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1606\" data-end=\"1627\">Official language<\/strong>: Hungarian<br data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1641\" data-is-only-node=\"\" \/>\u23f0 <strong data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1656\">Time zone<\/strong>: UTC +1 (winter) \/ UTC +2 (summer)<br data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1694\" \/>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1709\">Climate<\/strong>: Continental \u2014 cold winters, hot summers; pleasant spring\/autumn shoulder seasons<br data-start=\"1791\" data-end=\"1794\" \/>\ud83d\ude86 <strong data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1823\">Getting there &amp; around<\/strong>: Budapest (BUD) airport; dense rail network; efficient roads<br data-start=\"1884\" data-end=\"1887\" \/>\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1891\" data-end=\"1905\">Highlights<\/strong>: Budapest (baths, Parliament, Castle Hill), Danube Bend (Esztergom, Visegr\u00e1d, Szentendre), Lake Balaton &amp; H\u00e9v\u00edz, P\u00e9cs, Eger (fortress &amp; wines), Tokaj, Hortob\u00e1gy National Park, Szeged &amp; Debrecen<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2135\">\ud83c\udfe8 Find a good hotel in Hungary<\/h2>\r\n<p data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2420\">Whether your itinerary focuses on Budapest, Balaton, Tokaj or the puszta, you\u2019ll find options for every style and budget \u2014 urban design hotels, boutique charm, thermal retreats. \ud83c\udf1f <strong data-start=\"2320\" data-end=\"2359\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/3x7fc3xa\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2322\" data-end=\"2357\">See the best hotels in Hungary<\/a><\/strong> to compare offers, reviews and prices for your travel dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"2422\" data-end=\"2452\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Articles about Hungary<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"2454\" data-end=\"2627\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Below, you\u2019ll find our <strong data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2516\">selection of articles about Hungary<\/strong>, followed by the <strong data-start=\"2534\" data-end=\"2550\">latest posts<\/strong>, to help you plan your trip and explore the country\u2019s most beautiful places.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/visit-hungary\/","name":"HUNGARY","slug":"visit-hungary","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Travelling in Hungary | Guides and tips, from Eger to Budapest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Traveling in Hungary is traveling in time.
