Hungary
Overview
Budapest’s old buildings and bridges over the Danube form part of Hungary’s past. People here love their thermal baths, especially in winter. Outside the capital, you’ll see Europe’s biggest grassland and Lake Balaton where Hungarians vacation. Food is a big deal – expect hearty portions and locals eager to share their wine.
