Reasons Why You Should Visit Hungary

Every country in this world has some beauty which we should explore. Some countries are beautiful because of the sights that they offer, and there is more to sights than monuments. The world is full of iconic places and historic and cultural locations that you should explore.

Today, we are going to Europe. Not just any country in Europe, but Hungary. Hungary is an outlier in this part of Europe, the only country where the national language is not Indo-European in origin but Finno-Ugric.

You should definitely have Hungary as one of your next destinations if you are traveling to Europe and here are some reasons why.

Budapest

The first and most obvious reason why to visit Hungary is its capital city, Budapest.

Budapest has been two distinct cities at some point but have long since been united. Budapest has everything a tourist wants, beautiful bridges, historic centers with cobbled streets and a plethora of museums, a castle in the center of the city, hills and forests and an island with a park.

It also has a very lively nightlife scene, if you want to party rather than spend time touring the city. My advice is to try both and enjoy the city to its fullest. You can get a lot out of Hungary just by visiting Budapest. 

It Has Amazing Nature

Hungary is rich with nature. There are plenty of plains to see, not to mention caves and mountains. Hungary is home to the largest lake in Central Europe, lake Balaton. If you ever wanted to see a glorious and historic river, then you would want to see the Danube, which flows through seven different countries before ending up in the Black Sea. 

Hungary is a great destination for cyclists who are fans of cyclo-tourism. Visit Hungary if you want a dose of nature which is well-respected and maintained as it should be.

The Cuisine

Everybody loves Hungarian cuisine, which has withstood the test of time and the change of multiple governments. Cuisine has a lot to do with a country’s culture and people and most people try their hardest to preserve historic recipes. Traditional recipes in Hungary revolve around bread, meat, dairy and cheese. These types of recipes are very common in Central and Eastern Europe but Hungary has its own way of making amazing meals, like Goulash, for example.

Architecture and Art

Not many countries in the world are rich in architecture as Hungary is. Well, you will likely find most of them in Europe, though the styles will be somewhat similar. Hungary has a rich history of architecture. Budapest especially has lovely buildings that will have your inner architect weeping from joy. Enter Budapest’s museums if you want to see even more art. You can even find some museums at Castle Hill and at Buda Castle, which is an iconic piece of architecture itself.

The Popular Lifestyle

Partying and an active nightlife is what most people miss or have missed since the beginning of a global pandemic in 2020. Nowadays, having an active nightlife is slowly becoming possible again. Budapest, once more, is your destination in Hungary if you want to party. There are plenty of other activities to pursue in Budapest, but the nightlife is the one to consider if you like parties and nights out.

If you needed more reasons to visit Hungary, you hopefully do not need any after these ones.
