Destination Profile
Hungary has long been the bridge between eastern and western Europe. Linking Ukraine with Austria, and Romania with the Slovak hills, it's seen invasions from Ottomans and Mongol hordes, and weathered the lot. These days, layer upon layer of history resides in the capital of Budapest, where you can drink till sunup in hip ruin bars before clambering medieval castle spires or steaming off the hangover in grand Art Deco baths. The countryside, meanwhile, is rent in two by the Danube, and hides gems like soft-bottomed Balaton Lake, or the rolling wine centers of Tokaj. If you're keen to explore all that and more, be sure to check out deals on cheap flights to Hungary from Australia. Connections typically involve at least one stop and can take up to 30 hours in the air.
Hitting the baths is a pastime for locals of Budapest. The most impressive bathhouses are arguably at Szechenyi, where you can hop outdoor whirlpools and sit in subterranean saunas.
Budapest is the beating heart of Hungary, home to most of its population, that colossal parliament building, and a whole district of art-brimming ruin bars for the beer drinkers.
Winelands, beaches, and old churches string around the banks of Lake Balaton, which is one of the largest lakes on the whole continent!
