We give you 5+1 really good reasons why you should visit Hungary

You are not sure whether you should visit our little Central European country this summer? Here is a small list of the best reasons why you should do so.

It is only a matter of time until we can get back to normality. Nevertheless, at this point, we already have more than one options to travel in the world, especially inside the European Union as the EU immunity certificate is already in the testing phase and in just 2 weeks, it will go live in all EU countries. Here you can read all the information about the precious document granting you free movement between EU member states. Moreover, if you come from a country with which Hungary has a bilateral agreement to accept each other’s immunity certificates, you already have the green light.

In the case you are vaccinated and ready to travel, set to receive your jab very soon, or maybe you do not mind taking 2 PCR tests, here is some help to convince you why to start packing your bags.

Cheap

The magic word that draws attention. Hungary is quite cheap as opposed to many popular or even less popular European countries. Despite a big increase in food and property prices in Budapest, especially during the past months, the Hungarian capital is still considered one of the best places to spend your money and get a lot for it. This involves accommodation prices, be it a hotel or an Airbnb; restaurants, cafés, and rooftop bars; thermal baths and beaches.

All this in a beautiful and authentic environment. This leads us to the next point on the list:

Historical

Not only the Hungarian capital but many smaller cities or towns are also pure history and architecture. If we talk about Budapest, it is enough to mention some of the most important buildings of the country, the Hungarian Parliament, the Buda Castle with the whole district around it that has been standing at the same spot since 1243, the St. Stephen’s Basilica built 170 years ago, or the building of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics that was also built around the same time.

Since education is mentioned, the country’s oldest university was opened almost 654 years ago. Apart from Budapest, there are many other spots in the country that reflect its more than 1,000-year-old history. Veszprém, the city of Queens, for instance, is one of these places.

Geography

Hungary might not have a 2,000-metre-tall mountain or a sea, but you can find every geographical site a country can wish for. Starting with the largest lake of Central Europe, Lake Balaton, where you can spend your summer vacation swimming, diving or sailing before you go out partying in one of the most popular party cities around it.

Or, you can choose the Great Hungarian Plain to have a smoother surface either for hiking or biking, accompanied by a cattle of the famous Hungarian Grey along the road. If you feel more adventurous, visit the Kékes, the country’s highest mountain, in the winter to ski, snowboard, or simply admire the wonderful view of Northern Hungary.
