1. Taste Hungarian Cuisine

Tasting the local cuisine is one of the most authentic ways you can sample the culture in Hungary.

Whether you opt for goulash, chicken paprikash, or chimney cake, tasting these dishes is sure to give you a snapshot of how Hungarian food has captured people’s hearts across the nations.

If you want to try your hand at cooking Hungarian cuisine from home, you can browse bookshops like Waterstones for cookbooks to inspire you to become an amateur Hungarian chef.

Additionally, if you want to truly reflect the traditional methods of Hungarian cooking, you could invest in a goulash kettle that is traditionally used for cooking and serving goulash. Small things like this can really help to bring Hungarian culture alive into your home.

2. Study a Course

As you’re travelling and taking in the incredible views across Hungary, why not take the opportunity to study whilst you travel? 

If you opt for a distance learning degree, you will be able to work flexibly, prioritising your travel itinerary, so you can take in all the sights at your own pace. 

High quality providers like Signum Magnum College have a range of courses designed to fit around your daily commitments, whether you’re just starting out with an undergraduate degree, or progressing towards a doctorate. 

3. Visit Budapest

The capital city of Hungary, Budapest is known for its historical architecture, museums and art and extensive cultural history. 

Whether you decide to explore the Danube river on a sightseeing cruise, visit St Stephen’s Basilica, or experience a spa, there’s something for everyone in this vibrant city. 

Flowing through ten countries, the Danube is an important historical artefact of the Roman Empire and a site of cultural importance as the second largest river in Europe. Take a look for yourself to marvel at its spectacular scenery!

Budapest is also known for its nightlife so you can make the most of bar crawls through the city, with cheap delicious drinks and wonderful views, it’s the perfect place to let your hair down.

4. Explore Hungary’s Cultural History

Folklore is an important part of Hungarian culture, and you won’t need to look far to find folk tales. Additionally, spas are a huge part of the culture in Hungary, with readily available thermal springs that can be found across 80% of Hungary’s land. 

A huge part of utilising these thermal springs comes in the form of public baths, which are widely available, and are used for treating a variety of ailments, as well as for general therapeutic use.

The Rubik’s Cube was invented in Hungary in 1977, gaining widespread popularity and global fame, but more traditional Hungarian games include Ulti (a card game), and Button football.

5. Visit Some Natural Beauty Spots

As well as the thermal springs, Hungary is also host to some beautiful landscapes that are great for those who are a fan of the great outdoors. 

Take in the sights of Lake Balaton, the Aggtelek National Park, and the Hortobagy National Park with your favourite walking shoes and a hot drink of your choice.
