Budapest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The capital is the obvious starting point, but Budapest earns its place on any list of the best places to visit in Hungary. It\u2019s got grandeur, grit, and more thermal baths than any other city in the world. Highlights include the regal <a>Buda Castle<\/a> on Castle Hill, the neo-Gothic Parliament building, and the famous <a>Chain Bridge<\/a> that connects Buda and Pest across the Danube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sweeping views, climb to the fairytale <a>Fisherman\u2019s Bastion<\/a>. And no visit would be complete without a soak at the <a>Szechenyi Thermal Bath<\/a>, where you can float in steaming outdoor pools surrounded by 20th-century architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/01\/budapest-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"budapest from above\" class=\"wp-image-880552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/budapest-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/budapest-1-330x206.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/budapest-1-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/budapest-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-eger\">2. Eger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in northern Hungary, Eger is known for its dramatic castle, Ottoman minaret, and delicious red wines (including the famous Bull\u2019s Blood blend). The baroque old town is one of Hungary\u2019s prettiest, with pastel facades and bustling caf\u00e9-lined squares. Its castle is famed for holding off the Ottoman siege of 1552. Wine lovers will want to spend time in the Valley of the Beautiful Women, tasting Egri Bikav\u00e9r (Bull\u2019s Blood) and visiting cellars carved into the hillsides. The city also houses quirky bits of pop culture \u2014 for example the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beatlesmuzeum.hu\/eng\/\">Egri Road Beatles Museum<\/a><\/strong> celebrates the Beatles in Eger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/10\/1.png\" alt=\"Eger cityscape\" class=\"wp-image-884991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1-330x248.png 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-lake-balaton\">3. Lake Balaton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lake Balaton, Hungary\u2019s largest freshwater lake, is often called the \u201cHungarian Sea\u201d \u2013 a favourite summer escape for locals thanks to its sandy beaches, wine cultivation, and sailing towns. The northern shore is known for rolling vineyards, hilltop vistas, and the Benedictine monastery of Tihany, where lavender fields bloom in summer. Though, in the summer months make sure to also head to the south shore, especially around Si\u00f3fok, which becomes a hub for watersports, beachside caf\u00e9s, and lively promenade walks. Even outside of summer, Balaton offers a refreshing escape from city life and is one of the best places to visit in Hungary for combining nature, wine culture, and tranquil lakeside time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/05\/lake-balaton-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Balaton in Hungary\" class=\"wp-image-873130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lake-balaton-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lake-balaton-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lake-balaton.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-szentendre\">4. Szentendre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just north of Budapest lies Szentendre, a pastel-painted riverside town with an artistic soul. Meander galleries, caf\u00e9 terraces, and artisan workshops. A top attraction here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/skanzen.hu\/en\">Hungarian Open-air Museum <\/a>(Skanzen), where traditional rural houses, farmsteads, and artifacts from across Hungary\u2019s regions are assembled in immersive exhibits. The Urban Public Transport Museum is another gem, located in a restored depot and full of vintage trams and buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/10\/2.png\" alt=\"Szentendre cityscape\" class=\"wp-image-884992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-330x248.png 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-pecs\">5. P\u00e9cs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hungary\u2019s south, P\u00e9cs offers a sun-kissed Mediterranean feel, rich in history, art, and architecture. It\u2019s home to the <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/853\/\">Early Christian Necropolis<\/a>, a UNESCO-listed site of tombs and mausoleums from the 4th century. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zsolnay.hu\/pages\/zsolnay-cultural-quarter?srsltid=AfmBOopDxQfebZ5RIlWxQhGWy7h4mgFcZavq6vocHJuQDyWNtgfPh0Y6\">Zsolnay Cultural Quarter<\/a> revives the city\u2019s famed porcelain tradition, with galleries, workshops, and ceramic displays lining the streets. Climb to the P\u00e9cs TV Tower on Misina Peak for sweeping views of the city and region. Additionally, architectural markers from various eras \u2014 Roman, Turkish, Christian \u2014 make P\u00e9cs a cultural mosaic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/10\/3.png\" alt=\"P\u00e9cs building and town square\" class=\"wp-image-884993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3-330x248.png 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-holloko\">6.

The village\u2019s layout, annual festivals, and cultural preservation make it one of Hungary\u2019s most faithful links to tradition. Locals still wear Pal\u00f3c folk costumes and host seasonal events like Easter celebrations in the village square. Think thatched-roof houses, embroidered costumes, and wood-fired bread. It\u2019s also one of the best places to visit in Hungary if you\u2019re looking to experience rural life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/10\/4.png\" alt=\"Holl\u00f3k\u0151 village\" class=\"wp-image-884994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4-330x248.png 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-debrecen\">7.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/visitdebrecen.com\/see-do\/reformed-great-church\/\">Great Reformed Church<\/a> stands as a Calvinist symbol, and the city\u2019s museums reflect both local and national heritage. You can explore the city\u2019s museums, parks and squares, then relax in the nearby thermal spas like Aquaticum \u2013 another reminder that Hungary takes its bathing seriously. Nearby lies <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/474\/\">Hortob\u00e1gy National Park<\/a>, often called the Puszta: endless grasslands, traditional herdsmen (csik\u00f3s), seasonal bird migrations and open skies.

It\u2019s a Baroque treasure in the shape of a city, with Bishop\u2019s Castle, graceful churches, and the old town\u2019s winding lanes. It\u2019s also one of the oldest cities in Hungary, dating back to Roman times.  Because of its location at the confluence of three rivers, Gy\u0151r also offers a pleasant base for exploring western Hungary or venturing across the Slovak\u2013Austrian border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/10\/6.png\" alt=\"Gy\u0151r city streets\" class=\"wp-image-884996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6-330x248.png 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-tokaj\">9.
