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.

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.
