Hungary

Region sheet G-02

Hungary is the nearest of our regions and the only one we reach by rail and road alone. Its springs feed the bath palaces of Budapest and a lake at Hévíz that stays warm through the autumn.

When to go

Budapest is good in any month, though July and August are hot in the city. Hévíz is best from April to October, when the lilies are out and the evenings are warm enough to sit by the water.
