Things to do in Hungary

Danube boat trip through Budapest
With a celebrated history that dates back more than a millennium, Hungary is wholly distinct in almost every way, including its rich folk culture and even richer cuisine. From Budapest’s renowned coffee shops to the Börzsöny and Visegrád mountains, we’ve found a host of experiences that will help you to delve into the country’s personality and meet its people.

You can explore the Hungarian gastronomy on a paprika-spiced tasting tour of the capital, sampling everything from a bowl of comforting goulash to a glass of the local Tokaji dessert wine. Or you might take a leisurely cruise down the Danube, stopping at towns known for their castles, spires, and Baroque architecture. Our specialists will suggest things to do in Budapest and beyond based on your personal interests.
