Have you ever thought of visiting a European country that is absolutely and simply beautiful but is neither France nor Italy? You may be hankering for Hungary without even knowing. After all, the small and unassuming country ranks among the top 20 tourist destinations in the world.
A good half or more of Hungary consists of large plains and most of its elevated portions are modest hills and mountains. The largest lake in Central Europe, Balaton, is found in the Transdanubian region. Budapest, a riverfront city, is the nation’s capital. In terms of intricacies of existing architectures and overall beauty, Budapest is considered as the Central European counterpart of Paris. Most of the city’s architectures and structures were built during the industrial revolution giving the city an old world luxe feeling. For those who crave culture, the city of Pecs is a must on your list of places to visit. Pecs, pronounced as Peh-ch, is described as a university city. Mediterranean, Turkish and Islam influences are apparent throughout the town. The best way to get around Hungary is through intercity trains. These trains link most the Hungary’s cities with the capital and regular users earn the moniker “train spotter.”
