Firstly, take in the delightful baroque architecture of Budapest’s Castle district or sink into spa heaven with hundreds of hot springs in sight. The city’s beauty is enhanced by the River Danube.
Catch a train to Eger, a baroque town known for its local red wine, turkish baths and more fine samples of architecture. If it’s more of the glorious Ottoman regime you want to see, remnants of Turkish architecture can be found at Pecs, the fourth largest city in the Hungary. In Sopron, near the Austrian border, the medieval sights are all reminders of the Roman empire - with some touches of the Jewish heritage still intact.
The towns along Lake Balaton offer beautiful vistas as well. Some of the popular attractions include Balatonfured, a natural healing spa in Veszprem and the Benedictine Abbey in Tihany.

Its graceful capital Budapest has a lively arts, cafe and music scene, and is host to a range of cultural and sporting festivals. In the countryside you'll find majestic plains, resort-lined lakes, Baroque towns, horse markets and rustic villages.
For those in search of the heart and soul of Europe, there's nowhere better. Hungarians, who call themselves Magyars, speak a language and revel in a culture unlike any other. Away from the cosmopolitan charms of Budapest, life in the provinces is more redolent of times past - simpler, slower, often friendlier. There are endless opportunities for those with special interests - from horse riding and cycling to bird-watching and 'taking the waters' at the country's many thermal spas.
Budapest - Budapest straddles a gentle curve in the Danube. It has broad avenues, leafy parks and elaborate bathhouses. The city also has a turn-of-the-century feel to it, for it was then - during the industrial boom and the capital's heyday - that most of the city was built. With its incredible architecture and rich cultural heritage, multifarious and often embittered history, Hungary's capital deserves its reputation as the 'Paris of Eastern Europe'. It has a complex identity, somewhere between Western luxury and simple traditions.

Eger - Eger lies at the southern slopes of the Bükk Mountains 130 km from Budapest. Eger is an historic city and an historic wine region. Also called the city of wine, it is a renowned health-resort.The town’s hero is none other than the captain István Dobó who fended off the assault of 100,000 Turks in 1552. According to the legend, the 2000 Hungarian soldiers who defended Eger were assisted by their wives who threw boiling oil on the assailants. In particular István Dobó gave his men the full-bodied Eger wine to drink giving a red hue to their beards and faces. This made the Sultan's men think the Hungarians were drawing their strength from drinking bull’s blood! So the name “Bull’s Blood”, egri bikavér in Hungarian, has remained and Eger’s wine still carries the name to this very day.
