Hungary See & Do

Chain Bridge Hungary

Any tour of Hungary should start in Budapest. The capital is by far the most important attraction of this Central European country. Budapest is situated on the Danube, in a region with both hills and plains, and has some of the most important cultural heritage left from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. The most important sights in Budapest are the majestic Parliament building, situated on the banks of the Danube, the Chain Bridge, one of the oldest bridges in Budapest, and in Hungary, also, as well as the Buda castle. The latter is situated on top of the Buda hill, providing excellent views over the capital, especially in the evening.

Chain Bridge House of Parliment

Budapest is also probably the only place in Hungary where car rentals are available on a large scale. The Ferihegy airport, the main railway stations or other important tourist points in the center are the places where you will most probably be able to rent a vehicle. The good thing is that Hungary, as part of the Schengen Area, can be accessed even with cars rented abroad – say in Austria or Slovenia.

Leaving Budapest behind, we travel westwards, towards the border with Austria crossing the Great Pannonian Plane. The region is riddled with small Hungarian villages and numerous camping sites. These villages often have a rich cultural and historical heritage, hidden somewhere off the beaten trail. This includes either antique thermal baths or traditional houses – as well as exquisite flower arrangements.

More to the South, you’ll stumble upon the so-called “Pannonian Sea”. The Balaton Lake is one of the biggest lakes in Europe. It is a holiday destination preferred by locals looking for a place to sunbathe and refresh during the summer, that is, at the same time, not so far from home. The lake is surrounded by a circular road, driving on this strip of tarmac being probably the most spectacular experience in Hungary. You can even stop for a dip in the lake, if the weather is permitting.

Going even further south, near the border with Croatia, the Danube-Drava National Park is the place to visit for nature-lovers and bird-watchers. Szeged, the old Hungarian city situated roughly at the tri-border between Hungary, Romania and Serbia, is worth a stop, as the city center features numerous buildings with classical French architecture. Our tour of Hungary ends in the Northeastern part, in the regions of Miskolc and Nyireghihaza. This part of Hungary is the only one with some form of landscape that resembles mountains. It is fun to drive on the roads in this corner of the country, but be careful: this is also a wine region, so don’t drink and drive!
