Hungary

Romantic Budapest floats with the cream of world capitals, and is an established 'must-see' for travellers in Europe. But Hungary has oodles more besides. Here you'll find forested mountains and rolling 'puszta' plains, peasant villages and pretty Baroque towns, whip-cracking cowboys and bathers dozing in thermal pools.

Whatever your passion, this country's got it covered. "Hungary: The Bradt Travel Guide" provides all the practical and background information you'll need for a short stay or a longer tour. It contains information on: hiking in the Matra Hills, wine tasting in the Eger valley, horse-riding in the Great Plain, caving in Aggtelek, nosing in the museums of Pecs, splashing in central Europe's largest lake - or goulash slurping at a pavement cafe as the sun sets over Sopron.
