TRAVEL GUIDE TO HUNGARY
This is your ultimate travel guide to Hungary!
CAPITAL: Budapest
I lived for 30 years close to the border with Hungary, so for me, it was way faster to go to Budapest, the capital of Hungary than to go to Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
Budapest has become the ideal city break, especially for Europeans, known for its nightlife, thermal spas, and historical façades. The food is delicious and attracts more and more tourists only because of this.
Say HELLO in Hungary:
Szia = Hello (sounds almost like Seeya’, just with a silent y, so more like a See-yoa’).

Best Time to visit
The most visited season in Hungary is SUMMER, from June to August. Nevertheless, the country can be visited all year round. Spring and Autumn will bring nice temperatures, which will allow you to wander easily the streets of Budapest.
However, winter is a bit chilly, being close to the Eastern part of Europe, so expect temperatures to go as low as possible. Because of this, many attractions, including accommodation in smaller towns, will be closed. Prepare in advance and do your research if you visit the country in the wintertime.
If you visit Hungary on a budget, wintertime is great as prices are low. Perfect for a road trip, as they have good roads.
