About
Hungary
Situated in the heart of Europe and straddling the central and eastern zones of the continent, Hungary offers visitors a rich and unique culture. During the communist era, significant money and resources were put into the capital city of Budapest, so travelers generally do not stray far from the city. However, the countryside is described as very beautiful and worth the trip. If you do decide to stay in Budapest, you will not be disappointed with what people have deemed the ‘Pearl of the Danube.’
