Culinary culture:

Hungarian cuisine is hearty, flavourful, and deeply rooted in tradition. Try goulash, a rich and spicy beef stew, or lángos, deep-fried dough topped with sour cream and cheese.

Good to know:

Budapest is a walkable city, but the M1 metro line (the second-oldest metro in the world) is a great way to get around. The local currency is the Hungarian forint (HUF), and while many places accept euros, it’s best to use the local money. Visit in winter for magical Christmas markets or in summer for lively festivals like Sziget, one of Europe’s biggest music festivals. Whether you’re looking for history, relaxation, or buzzing nightlife, Budapest delivers on every level.
