Locating in Central Europe, Hungary offers cultural experience alongside revitalising relaxation opportunities. Major cities like Pecs, Debrecen, Gyor, as well as the northern city of Eger where "Bull's Blood" (Egri Bikavér wine) is produced, are packed with historical establishment that can take your breath away. Budapest is the home to the remarkable Buda Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the Great Synagogue (the world's second largest). Nicknamed "Paris of the East", this capital city is divided by the legendary Danube River and the great cityscape can be viewed at the Fisherman's Bastion.

Though Hungary is an inland country, it does not fall short of water resources, and indeed beautiful lakes in the country have boasted world-class vacation resorts. Balaton houses Europe's largest freshwater lake, alongside a national park and mountains for hikes and retreats. Not far away from Balaton lies the city of Hévíz, where the largest biologically active thermal lake in Europe can be found. The temperature of its medicinal water remains at around 25°C all year round. Remember to pamper yourself in a spa or two while you are in Hungary – the country is in such a full supply of spas that that bathing for relaxation and health benefits has become part of the local's life.
