Hungary Travel Insurance

Budapest is the capital and most populous city of Hungary and is considered one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.

Budapest is home to the world’s largest thermal water cave system as well as the world’s second-largest synagogue and the third largest Parliament building, which is also the city’s top attraction. From the Fishermen’s Bastion, you’ll find spectacular views of the Danube as well as the city. A poignant memorial to Jews killed in World War II can be found at Shoes of the Danube. Budapest is two cities, Buda and Pest, separated by the Danube River but blended into one magnificent metropolis. Although the past is always present in Budapest, the city is known for its free-wheeling take on modern life too.

Lake Balaton is a freshwater lake in the Transdanubian region of Hungary. It is the largest lake in Central Europe, and one of the region’s most visited tourist destinations.

The mountainous region of the north shore offers wineries, the historical bathing town of Balatonfured, and the baroque Festetics Castle. Whereas the flat southern shore is known for its resort towns. The lake is so big it’s sometimes referred to as the “Hungarian Sea,” a delightful misnomer since the country is landlocked. Grass covers many of the beaches, though some resorts have created artificial sandy beaches. Siofok is the lake’s party capital, while ferries at Fonyod take passengers to Badacsony, the major wine-growing region.
