Facts About Hungary
Information for Travelers
Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe.
From Hungary's magnificent capital Budapest to its many picturesque villages and fantastical landscapes, this Eastern European country evokes a strong sense of history and tradition at every step.
Budapest is justifiably compared to cities like Prague and even
Paris and, as a result, has become the country's biggest tourist attraction.
Picturesque towns and villages of all sizes in Hungary have preserved their old classic historic attractions.
Wherever you are in Hungary, you are never far from spectacular mountains and lakes, beautiful river landscapes and lush valleys.
The beautiful Danube River crosses Hungary from north to south and, as it passes through Budapest, splits the city in two.
One of the best sunset views of the river and Buda and Pest is from Liberty Bridge , a favorite spot of locals who can often be seen watching the spectacle of nature.
Culture
Turkish and Roman influences on Hungarian culture include popular mineral spas such as the Hévíz medicinal lake.
The cityscape includes architectural landmarks from the medieval castle hill of Buda and grand neoclassical buildings from Andrássy út in Pest to the 19th century Chain Bridge.
Many of them clearly display influences from a variety of different regional cultures, including everything from Turkish invaders to Italian Renaissance designers.
