Our top trips and treats
From a hike that will reward you with a spectacular view to our recommendations for tasty bites and delectable sips, here’s how to make the most of your time in Hungary.
Glass half full
The Tokaj region may be synonymous with sweet wine but this green patch of eastern Hungary has much more in the cellar, on the plate and beyond.
Go with the flow
This sinuous stretch of the Danube above Budapest offers gentle views and forests where visitors can hike, swim and canoe – or explore its towns by ferry.
Better lake than never
Lake Balaton is the closest that landlocked Hungary comes to having a seaside and the mood here is one of maritime merriment, thanks to boating, watersports and swimming when the mercury rises.
City of culture and charm
Most international visitors will travel through Hungary's postcard-pretty capital of fairy-tale castles and soaring spires. Here we suggest the top tables, best hotels and key cultural venues within the Pearl of the Danube.
Laying down routes
Searching for places that are untrampled by mass tourism, where the wines are well made and well priced, we recommend a trip or two beyond Hungary’s capital to its surrounding regions.
Hungary for more?
The Magyars, as Hungarians are sometimes known, landed in the Carpathian Basin a millennium ago – and you can see why they stayed. The Central European nation has surprises aplenty.
