Hungary

Hungary: where goulash is the gossip of every corner, national parks are the new beaches (almost) and the Danube's your dancefloor.


Destination highlights

  • A bunch of caves to explore - as if there wasn't already enough to do above ground


What are the best sights to see in Hungary?

Strap in for a sightseeing extravaganza, because Hungary's landmarks are like a highlight reel of European wonders.

  • The Parliament Building - not your average government building; it's a Gothic marvel that lights up the Danube like a Christmas tree

  • Buda Castle - this isn't just a castle; it’s a whole district of awe. History here doesn't just whisper - it shouts.

  • Széchenyi Thermal Bath - imagine dipping in pools that are basically historic monuments with bubbles. It’s relaxation with a side of grandeur.

  • Fisherman's Bastion - it's like stepping into a fairytale book. The views? Let's just say your camera might go on strike from overuse...

  • Ruin Bars in Budapest - these aren't your typical watering holes. They're quirky, they're cool, and they've got more character than a box-set binge.
