Travel Hungary Guide
Hungary is home to the beautiful city of Budapest, quaint villages with gorgeous wineries, natural hot springs with surrounding health spas, excellent skiing and intriguing culture. Trips to Hungary are affordable and growing in popularity. Hungarian wine-tasting tours, bicycle trips and health and spa vacations have recently found a welcoming home in this Eastern European wonderland; yet the country is still relatively undiscovered by tourists.
Though few think of Hungary as a summer vacation spot, it is home to Central Europe's largest lake; the beautiful Lake Balaton. With nearly 100 miles of shore line, this lake is home to endless summertime activities and cozy resorts. The Northern shore of the lake is characterized by volcanic hills and vineyards. On the Southern shore you will find a multitude of fun, active resort towns. The water is still, safe, clean and beautiful and the beaches are lovely, making Lake Balaton a perfect family summer holiday spot.
Beneath Hungary's rich soil lies a sea of hot water. This thermal water bubbles up through the surface of the land in the form of springs. While some of these springs have yet to be discovered, and others remain in their natural splendor, still others have been developed into spas and pools offering various services. Luxurious spas at affordable prices can be found all over Hungary and offer massages, beauty treatments, and other medical services. The town of Heviz sits on the banks of the world's largest thermal lake, where you can bathe year round. This resort town is home to numerous spas, hotels, kids’ parks and a cave which is believed to cure respiratory problems.
Wine-lovers from around the world come to Hungary for its stunning vineyards and delicious local wines. Hungarian wine was imported and enjoyed by the ancient Romans and has recently begun to flourish again with the fall of communism. In this growing industry, Hungarian wine makers are eager to spread the word about their yet undiscovered delicacies and wine tours of the region can be a fun and tasty way to explore the gorgeous rustic Hungarian countryside. Wine producing towns such as Villany, and Eger produce uniquely sweet wines such as the Aszu and Tokaj. Here you can sit in ancient stone wine cellars and enjoy hearty mugs of this local treat for mere pennies.
The city of Budapest is a classic Eastern-European merging of old and new. Separated by a river, the two halves of the city, Buda and Pest, represent two worlds. From beautiful castles and ornate bridges to a popular modern shopping district; this Hungarian capital city has all the splendor of Paris, without the tourists or the high prices. Left virtually un-touched during WWII, Budapest's gorgeous ancient buildings are still standing and the charming cobblestone streets wind up quaint hillsides providing for the perfect Central European experience.
Hungary has yet to be discovered by world travelers, but it as it comes into its own the world will realize what treasures lie in this splendid land.
