Outside of the capital the plains, rolling hills and rivers, lakes and vineyards hold much to offer the Hungarian tourist. Hungary is best visited over the summer period, when the weather is warmer and the attractions are all open. The weather in spring and autumn can be very pleasant, but temperatures drop to around 20°F (9°C).

• Budapest- Budapest is a great city with a cultural sophistication that entices and enchants. Budapest is situayed both sides of the Danube river with grand historic buildings, regal bridges and graceful tree-lined boulevards, it is the elegant beauty and romantic atmosphere that has given Budapest Parisian status among the Eastern European countries.
• Eger - Eger is one of the country's oldest cities and is full of Baroque architecture and grand buildings. The city has over 200 historical monuments, including Eger Castle, the Copf-style Lyceum with a magnificent frescoed library, the 14-sided, 128ft (40m) high minaret, a reminder of almost 100 years of Turkish rule, and the Archbishop's Cathedral containing the country's largest musical organ.
