Hungary conjures up images of baroque towns, rustic villages, café and music scene, cultural and sporting festivals, the rhapsodies of Franz Liszt, the operas of Ferenc Erkel, as well as Gypsy and folk music. Possessing some of the finest folk traditions in Europe, Hungary is known for its embroidery, pottery, and objects carved from wood or bone.
You could visit Lake Balaton's thermal spas or Pécs for some great sightseeing. Take a trip to Pannonhalma to see the Abbey or Máriapócs to see the Weeping Black Madonna. For an active holiday, try canoeing on the Tisza River or caving in Aggtelek.
