One of the real jewels of Eastern Europe, the country of Hungary is a place of fantastic architecture, rich history, and beautiful scenery.
The country escaped communism in 1989, and has since blossomed into one of the main tourist destinations in Eastern Europe, attracting visitors from all over the world to the city of Budapest, the Carpathian Mountains, and the lakeside resorts of Lake Balaton.
Conquest by the Ottoman empire left the country with a great deal of Turkish influence, the soaring Magyar buildings and the natural spas and hamman bath houses, The Hapsburgs brought huge cultural wealth from Austria, and the communists of Russia brought Hungary a modern infrastructure that makes exploring the country easy.
As Hungary joins the European Union, travel there will become more straightforward than ever, and an already popular destination with lots to offer will no doubt improve even more.
