Hungary:
is situated in Central Europe`s Carpathian Basin. No one else speaks their language and with a culture and lifestyle distinctly unique. The captivation of their culture have drawn travelers from around the world throughout the centuries. The wonderful panorama of the capital, Budapest - also known as the `Pearl of the Danube` prompted UNESCO to place it on the World Heritage list. A lively city that has long been a haven for writers, artists and musicians and the nightlife of Budapest has many nightclubs, bars and discos. The Historical Museum of Budapest contains archaeological remains of the old city, and furnishings, glass and ceramics from the 15th century. On the Pest side are the Parliament and the Hungarian National Museum, containing remarkable treasures including the oldest skull yet found in Europe. Budapest is the heart of Hungary, the largest city in Hungary. Hungary`s paprika-laced cuisine and steamy thermal spas offer a bit more heat and spice than you might expect from an eastern European country. But then Hungary, which got a jump on opening its borders to the West, also had a head start in hospitality. Explore its attractions, from the striking capital of Budapest, curving along the grand Duna, to its remote villages, known for their superb folk art. Budapest has the largest number of first-class hotels of any eastern European capital - which is why it`s developed into an important city for regional business over the past few years. You might find Hungary to be the smoothest introduction to travel in Eastern Europe. Hungary consists mostly of plains, with hills and low mountains confined to the western and northern portions of the country. The Duna River forms the northwestern border of the country. It then turns almost due south in the middle and neatly bisects the nation. Lake Balaton is to the west, the largest lake in Hungary and in central Europe, is a leading resort area. Hungary has the second-largest reserve of surface thermal water in the world with hundreds of warm springs spouting forth curative waters that have assisted many thousands in regaining health. Or, if you prefer, Lake Balaton, Central Europe`s largest freshwater lake, will provide a veritable paradise for families with small children, as well as lovers of yachting and resort life. To the North, the Tokaj region provides the world-famous Tokaji Aszú, titled `Wine of Kings, King of Wines. ` Situated on a plain near the geographic center of Europe, Hungary has long been an agricultural country.
