Hungary

The small nation of Hungary—about the size of Indiana—is one of the oldest European countries, with a dynamic and diverse history and culture. Here, visitors discover 400-year-old Turkish monuments alongside Roman ruins from the time of Christ.

The capital city of Budapest is often referred to as the “Pearl of the Danube” or the “Little Paris of Middle Europe.” In actuality, the city has two distinct sides…Buda and Pest. The more suburban Buda boasts a historic castle district, complete with medieval streets and houses, caves and Roman ruins. At the same time, Pest exhibits a dynamic

modern character, with coffee houses, bookstores, flea markets and riverside promenades.

Lake Balaton, Central Europe’s largest freshwater lake, lies near the westernmost end of Hungary and stretches for 50 miles. The shallow waters along the lake’s southern shore are perfect for bathing, splashing and children at play, while the waters of the north shore are much deeper with a sudden drop-off.

Nearby, the therapeutic Thermal Bath at Lake Hévíz has been attracting health-seekers for more than 200 years. Covered in waterlilies, this picturesque lake is the second largest hot-water lake in the world. With a temperature reaching 90°F, visitors enjoy pleasant bathing in the therapeutic waters even in winter.

One of Hungary’s most notable wines—the Tokaji Aszú, or Tokay wine—is produced in the hilly Eger-Tokaj region in the far north. Another well-known wine from the area is Egri Bikavér, known to English speakers as “Bull’s Blood.” And in the Valley of the Beautiful Lady, plenty of old wine cellars that have been dug into the hillside offer tastings of many more varieties.
