One of the most vibrant and diverse countries in central Europe, Hungary has plenty to offer a first-time traveller: delicious cuisine (beef goulash anyone?), and interesting history and culture, having served as the capital of one of Europe’s last great empires.
More than meets the eye in Hungary. It has been under Celts, Roman, Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Royal Hungarian Kingdom rule, with its unassuming capital Budapest at the centre of some of Europe’s most significant events.
Hungary is also home to some of the most pivotal inventions of our time: the ballpoint pen, the helicopter, the modern computer and the Rubik’s Cube to name a few, and if you’re a fan of hot springs, thermal spas and illusionism (thanks to Hungarian Harry Houdini), what are you waiting for?
