TRANSDANUBIA

Transdanubia is located in the western regions – divided into western, southern and central Transdanubia. The three regions have one thing in common: nature and its healing power! The western part is known for its Raab-Örseg-Goricko Nature Park and the numerous spas that offer a relaxing wellness holiday in nature. The south of Transdanubia is characterised by mountains and valleys as well as the UNESCO cultural heritage site of Pécs – a picturesque city with a rich Roman history that is definitely worth a visit. Mountains, rivers and lakes await you in Central Transdanubia. The beautiful Lake Velence in particular attracts both locals and tourists to the region. The famous city of kings, Székesfehérvár, is also located here.

LAKE BALATON

As if embraced by the colourful nature of Transdanubia, Hungary’s most popular holiday destination is located in the west – approx. 300 km from Vienna: Lake Balaton. Also known as Lake Balaton in German, it is the largest freshwater lake in Central Europe with a shoreline length of around 200 kilometres. In addition to its numerous beaches, which become Hungary’s tourist stronghold in summer, the region is also known for its thermal baths. Very close to Lake Balaton is Hévíz – a historic spa town and one of the most famous towns in Hungary, which has gained fame in the past thanks to Lake Hévíz – the world’s largest thermal lake. Also worth seeing and very popular with holidaymakers are the Lake Balaton peninsula of Tihany and the northern city of Veszprém, which will proudly bear the title of European Capital of Culture in 2023.

BUDAPEST AND THE DANUBE REGION

Hungary’s most beautiful treasure is undoubtedly its capital Budapest, which is not only one of the most impressive cities in Europe, but also in the world. The absolute highlights of the capital include the world-famous Buda Castle District and the panoramic view of both banks of the Danube.

The Danube region, where Budapest is located, is considered the most beautiful region in the country. The Danube Bend in particular, which is located around 30 kilometres from the capital, is considered the most picturesque place on the Danube. This is also where the second most beautiful and former capital of Hungary is located: Esztergom, also known as Gran in German. The city’s highlights include the Basilica of Esztergom and the Maria Valeria Bridge.

THE HUNGARIAN PUSZTA AND OTHER NATURAL WONDERS

In the eastern half of the country, the Hungarian Plain awaits you, which is divided into two sub-regions similar to Transdanubia. The south, with its special landscape including nature parks, spas and health resorts, is ideal for a relaxing holiday. In the north you will find the Hungarian Puszta. Here you will find endless expanses and nature reserves, as well as small, picturesque villages with charming buildings. Horse lovers in particular can look forward to exciting encounters in the Puszta.

The Tisza region is also known for its incredible nature and is named after Lake Tisza, which is the second largest lake in Hungary after Lake Balaton. The region is known as one of the largest bird reserves in the whole of Europe and is very popular with animal lovers. Water sports enthusiasts in particular feel at home at Lake Tisza, but there are also a number of opportunities for a relaxing beach holiday with the family.

EGER AND THE WINE CULTURE

With its varied nature and national parks and the impressive Mátra Mountains, but above all with its first-class wine culture, the north of Hungary is a popular destination, especially for outdoor sports enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Wine lovers should definitely make a note of the town of Tokaj, which is world-famous for its wines. The local Tokaj Aszu is known as the “wine of kings”. Also well-known among wine connoisseurs is the Eger Bull’s Blood – a strong red wine traditionally produced in the wine town of Eger. In addition to its local wine, the town of Eger also shines with its beautiful urban architecture. The castle and basilica of Eger are well worth a visit, as is the Egerszalók spa, which is located not far from the town centre and is reminiscent of Pamukkale in Turkey.
