A roundup of the best attractions in Hungary
Budapest
The capital city of Budapest is Hungary’s cultural hub. Crammed full of elegant cafés, stunning architecture, and amazing sightseeing opportunities, this should definitely be every expat’s first stop.
Eger
Eger is a mid-sized town where you can learn more about Hungary’s architectural history. It is home to one of the most impressive castles in the country as well as a few cool museums and thermal baths. Although it is a great day trip destination from Budapest, we recommend spending at least two nights here.
Gödöllő Palace
If you are keen on getting to know Hungary’s royal and imperial couple, Franz Josef and Sisi, this is the best place to do it. The palace is the summer residence of the Habsburg monarchs and a must-see site.
Pécs
Located in the south of the country, Pécs has a captivating history, and as such, is home to a variety of great museums and impressive buildings that tell the stories of Hungary’s rich history.
Szentendre
This Balkan artist colony is one of the most colourful and touristy small towns in the country and serves as a great day trip option from Budapest.
Sopron
Complete with dusty museums and historic buildings, Sopron’s Old Town is well-preserved and ideal for a stopover when travelling from Budapest to Vienna.
Great Hungarian Plain
This is Hungary’s Big Sky Country where you will find cowboy shows, the glitzy capital of Szeged, Kecskemet with its vibrant architecture and an easy way to take a trip into Serbia.
Lake Balaton
The Hungarian Riviera is a freshwater attraction that offers a plethora of beach resorts, the historic town of Tihany, and of course, Héviz and its unique thermal lake.
