Map of Hungary

Language: Hungarian
Currency: Forint
Time zone: +1 hr GMT

Hungary is a wonderful country brimming with culture and natural beauty. Discover Budapest – described as one of the finest capital cities in the world, visit Lake Balaton - Europe's largest freshwater lake, or head to one of the numerous nature conservation areas hidden in this east european hideaway, delights galore for lovers of culture or nature.

In addition to exploring the historical capital holidaymakers can take cycling or golf excursions, gaze at the range of birdlife or try fine Hungarian wines and beers. Those preferring a healthy break can indulge in rest and rejuvenation in one of the country's innumerable thermal spas, famous for their natural healing spring water.

The country divides into three quite distinct climatic zones: Mediterranean in the south, Continental in the east, and Atlantic in the west, but overall Hungary's temperate climate means that it makes a great all year round destination.
