hungary

the pearl of the danube

Budapest is one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals, split by the Danube between hilly Buda and grand Pest. Its Parliament, bridges and thermal baths make it perfect for a long weekend.

Beyond the city, Lake Balaton is a summer favourite, and the Tokaj region produces one of the world’s great sweet wines.

It’s excellent value and combines well with Vienna and Prague.
