Hungary is one of the thirty most popular tourist destinations in the world, attracting 10.2 million tourists a year.
The "Hungarian Sea", is the people's name for the 50 mile long lake of silky green-yellow water in the middle of Transdanubia. Lake Balaton is one of Hungary's most precious treasures and most frequented resorts. It is also the largest lake in Central Europe.
Picturesque vineyards in the region produce an assortment of excellent wines that go very well with the delicious local food. Large numbers of inns and restaurants welcome guests from home and abroad.
The Hortobágy National Park area offers you the experience of getting out into some big open space right here in the heart of Europe, with nothing else in sight but loads of cranes and other birds, plus the native horned grey cattle. In the summer, the quivering hot air over the endless grassland creates funny illusions and mirages. This is where gulyás (aka goulash) was invented, by herdsmen who dumped all their food in one pot over a fire, added some paprika, and there it was.
The Danube Bend is a huge region from Esztergom, where the Danube River starts bending, all the way down to Vác. The region also includes the Börzsöny Hills north from the Danube, Pilis and Visegrád Hills on the south bank, and the Island of Szentendre.
You can explore the region in several ways, but we admit it's impossible to touch every mentionable destination within a day, so we suggest you to pick two or three programs that meet your needs and plan a trip for a day.
