Hungary has fast become a popular tourist destination with travellers from around the globe, due to its unique culture, iconic heritage, thermal bath experiences and rich natural beauty. If you’re travelling to the country for the first time, deciding on which cities to see can be an overwhelming decision as there are many important places to visit in Hungary. That’s why we have taken the liberty to put together a nifty guide that covers the must-visit places in Hungary.
Without a doubt, the capital of Hungary and its largest city is one of the most important places to visit in Hungary. Not only is it the political and economic centre of the nation; it is also home to many iconic Hungary tourist places and attractions such as the Buda Castle, the Heroes’ Square, the Fisherman’s Bastion and the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, to name a few.
This town is named after Lake Hévíz, which is the largest lake in central Europe and the second-largest thermal lake in the world. The key attraction of Hévíz is the array of hot and cold springs that feed into the iconic lake. They are important Hungary tourist places in their own right. Dipping into these springs, which have a beneficial mineral composition, is the best way to relax and unwind after a busy few days in the capital. The traditional Hungarian bath is an unmissable experience and there is no better place to do it than Hévíz.
If you’re looking for a beachside break or some amazing nightlife, Siófok is your place. It is one of the most popular places to go in Hungary during the summertime due to the many beaches than run across its 17km coast. In addition, you will also find a host of great hotels, bars and restaurants that make going out in Siófok truly a time to remember. Sunbathing and partying aside, make sure to visit Lake Balaton, the Siofok Water Tower, the Galerius Spa and the Zamárdi Adventure Park if you’re travelling with children.
Gyor is a city of great national and economic importance in Hungary. It is located along the Danube river in the northwest of the nation, and one of the best places to visit in Hungary if you are travelling with your family. Make time to visit the Gyor Old Town, the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady and the Town Hall. If you’re travelling with children, take them to the Xántus János Zoo, which specialises in animals from Africa – they will have the time of their lives!
