Change language:
Did you fall in love with Budapest or Lake Balaton on your first trip to Hungary, and want to explore more about the mesmerizing Hungarian landscape while spending the night in a quirky hotel? If your answer to that is a yes, check out these places to discover the country.
Thanks to budget airlines, Budapest is a popular destination for people who wants to escape for a few days to explore a stunning European city. However, the Hungarian countryside offers many interesting options as well. With the ever-growing popularity of eco-tourism, Portfolio compiled 5 places that could provide a unique experience at an unusual hotel during your next visit to Hungary.
Sleeping in a lookout
What if we tell you, that you could spend a night in a room, which is almost as high as the highest point above sea level in Hungary? Being 111 km far from the city center in Budapest, Galyatető is the 3rd highest peak in Hungary and lies in the route of the National Blue Trail. On top of the hill, a 30-meter-high lookout has been built in 1934, which has been reconstructed in 2015, when the three highest floors have been converted to single rooms – so-called bivouacs for 5 people each. The rooms are equipped with electricity and Wi-Fi; however, guests would have to go to a different building to use a bathroom. We would recommend this special place to experienced hikers. The concrete building does not offer that much insulation from the wind and external conditions.

Wellness in a wine cellar
Just a couple of kilometers from Eger in Demjén, you could get to know the specialties of the Eger wine region in an unparalleled setting. The La Cantina guest house is carved into the side of a mountain and once operated as a wine cellar. The special feature of the place is that the bedrooms and the wellness area have kept the original lava stone interior of the cellar.
