HUNGARY


Hungary serves up a compelling blend of history, culture and stunning landscapes.

For my money, Budapest is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities and gives you the opportunity to soak in the country’s world-renowned thermal baths. When you’re done exploring the capital, there’s the serene beauty of Lake Balaton and centuries-old castles to discover.
