HUNGARY
Ten Sensational Things To Do When You Visit Hungary
by: Jonathan Williams
This country is a member of the European Union. Hungary
continues to make tourists happy with the experience they
had while visiting the place. Here, you will see the low
mountains, lakes, rivers, and natural wonders that the place
offers.
1.) Castle Hill
On the Castle Hill alone, one will have a whole gamut of
sights to enjoy such as the Royal Palace which happens to
be the most popular spot in the hill. There’s also the
National Gallery which offers a great collection of paintings
for viewing. And if you care to view the Danube, the
Fisherman’s Bastion will be the just the right place to be.
2.) Museums at the Hill
If you think your visit to the Castle Hill ends with the
Fisherman’s Bastion, think again. You will not get enough of
the museums that teem in the place. They have the
Historical Museum of Budapest, Music Museum, Military
Museum, Marzipan Museum, and Pharmacy Museum as well
as the Museum of Medieval Judaism.
3.) Caves
Aggtelek is one of the villages located north of Hungary,
quite close to the border with Slovakia. What you will find
here is a beautiful cave system that is known for its size. In
fact, visiting the entire Baradla Cave will take you at least
five hours to complete.
4.) Major Lake
Balaton is recognized as the biggest among the lakes in
Central Europe. You can do some hiking in the area or try
sailing or swimming in it especially during summer time. You
can also add a trip to the wine cellars as a side visit and
relax in thermal spas that are available in the place to relax
your tired feet.
5.) Gödöllő
This city is located in Pest County where tourists often stop
to take a look at the Royal Palace which was home to
Emperor Franz Josef and Queen Elizabeth. You should also
see its Town Center to visit the Grassalkovich Palace. There’
s also the town museum which exhibits art noveau from
Hungarian artists.
6.) City Parks
While you’re at Gödöllő, you may try visiting a few of their
parks that surround the palace, and there are three of them
named Alsó, Felső and Erzsébet parks. The first park
boasts of the World Tree which is a giant sculpture. In the
second, you will get to walk along a path filled with wild
chestnut and trees where Queen Sisi would go for her horse
rides. The third park is considered the best of the three.
7.) Tokaj
This small town is known for its white wines, so it easily
means visiting wine cellars and taking a sip. In addition, you
can also go mountain climbing up the Bald Mountain or go
fishing in the river. If you happen to be there during the last
week of May, then enjoy their Wine Festival, and if it’s the
first weekend of October, then you’re in for the Harves
festival.
8.) Tiszavirágzás
You may chance upon some Tiszas during the middle of
June. These mayflies are sometimes mistaken for flowers,
and although they were once affected by pollution, their
colony is slowly gaining again. They are definitely a sight to
watch, and hopefully, you can catch them on your visit.
9.) Eating Hungarian
Hungarians call their cuisine Magyar Konyha where food is
generally spicy and tasty. In fact, paprika is a national spice
for them. You could try their native goulash, chicken with
paprika sauce, and carp fish soup with what else but
paprika, and goose is also a main good ingredient in
Hungarian dishes so expect to see them on the menu.
10.) Drinks
Expectedly, Hungary has a list of one of the best wines such
as Villány, Badacsony, Szekszárd, Tokaj, and Eger. There’s
even a story around some of the names of the wines such
as the Bull’s Blood of Eger. Whatever way you may have it,
their wines are something you would want to bring home for
remembrance.
