Visit Hungary

When you think of Hungary, do Budapest, Lake Balaton and perhaps the great plain of Hortobágy immediately spring to mind? 🇭🇺

There is so much more to discover: Hungary’s mountain landscapes offer fairytale views, peaceful forests and spectacular hiking trails. 🌳🌲🥾

And because the country’s highest point is just 1014 metres above sea level, reaching these panoramic viewpoints is generally far less demanding than climbing in the Alps or the High Tatras. ⛰️

This breathtaking view is from Tar-kő in the Bükk range, near Felsőtárkány - a perfect destination for anyone looking to explore Hungary beyond its best-known sights. How about a hike soon? 💚

Get ready to celebrate! 🎉🇭🇺

On 20 August, Hungarians celebrate the foundation of the state, and this is when the biggest series of festivities of the year takes place. Even if the historical background isn’t your main interest, it’s still well worth travelling here at this time, with gastronomy programmes, music, dancing and fireworks all waiting for you. 🍽️🎶💃🎆

The fireworks take place nationwide on the evening of 20 August, though the best-known display is in Budapest, along the Danube embankment, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🌉✨

Don’t miss it: there’s still time to book! 🧳✈️

Here is Matthias Church from an angle that lets you admire its roof, covered with 150,000 glazed Zsolnay tiles. ⛪🤩

Although the church has stood since the Middle Ages, it owes its magnificent appearance today to its late 19th-century reconstruction. Popular with tourists and as a wedding venue, it is one of the architectural crown jewels of the Buda Castle District. 🤵👰‍♀️
