Hungary
Discover Hungary – thermal baths, national parks, picturesque landscapes, and cobbled-street cities are only a fraction of what awaits. Explore its capital, Budapest, as two distinct cities gaze at each other across the wonder that is the Danube River.
Is Hungary a good travel destination?
Yes. Absolutely yes.
In fact, it is one of my personal favourite destinations in Europe.
While Budapest might be the first place you think of when talking about Hungary, the country is vast, with many experiences to offer, from museum visits, through hiking, to culinary and arts adventures. It’s a beautiful country, with varied geography, including multiple mountains, lakes, and caves.
Don’t miss out on Bük and Sárvár, famous for its spas and miraculous waters, with countryside spanning at the foothills of the Alps, in the northwest of the country.
Check out Szeged region, best explored through cultural walking trails. Stop by one of its many old cafes before venturing into botanical gardens.
All throughout the country, Hungary offers heritage that must be seen, with many natural wonders that will leave you in awe, wherever you end up going.
When Best to visit hungary
What kind of weather does Hungary have?
Hungary has a typical continental European climate, which results in hot, dry summers and mildly cold winters, with occasional snow precipitation. Generally, the summer months between June and August bring about the warmest weather, with temperatures reaching up to high 20°Cs, while the winter months of December, January, and February can get really cold, leading to negative temperatures of -10°C, leading to snowfall and foggy conditions.
When is the best time to travel to Hungary?
Summer months tend to attract more tourists, en-route for their sunny holidays. The prices tend to be more expensive during this season but the good weather is almost always a guarantee.
I would not dismiss Hungary as a winter holiday destination though. When I visited Budapest in March, enjoying the outdoor thermal baths in the winter cold added its own charm to the experience. There are plenty of activities that can be carried out indoors and cosy cafes to warm up in with a cup of hot chocolate.
