Destination:
| Travelling there | There are flights to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) from a range of European cities, including almost all of the capitals on the continent. There are no direct flights to Hungary from the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand – most have connections via London and other European capitals. International rail routes include direct trains from Belgrade, Berlin, Ljubljana, Vienna and Zurich. |
| Capital city | Budapest. |
| Population | 9.828 million. |
| Religion | Christian, of which the majority are Roman Catholic. |
| Language | Hungarian. |
| Currency | Hungarian forint (HUF). |
| Climate | Hungary has a typical European continental climate with warm, dry and long summers and fairly cold and humid winters. |
| Transport | The public transport is efficient albeit dated. Bus and train services criss-cross the country. Budapest’s metro is supplemented by standard buses, trolley buses and taxis. |
| Best time to travel | The shoulder months are mid-April to June (late spring) and September to mid-November (early autumn). Spring is beautiful, although it can be fairly wet in May and early June. Autumn is particularly special in the hills (e.g. Bükk and Mátra); festivals mark the szüret (grape harvest). |
| What to wear | Casual covers it. Anything is acceptable wear here. |
