Hungary Travel Information
Hungary is a landlocked country which became a republic in 1989 after the Soviet Union disbanded. More than half of the country is flat. The highest parts are in the Carpathian Mountains bordering Slovenia. Hungary boasts the largest lake in Central Europe, Lake Balaton. The principal waterway is the renowned River Danube which flows through the capital, Budapest.
Despite its relatively small size, the country is home to numerous World Heritage Sites, the UNESCO Biosphere reserves, the second-largest thermal lake in the world and the largest natural grassland in Europe. In terms of buildings, Hungary is home to the largest synagogue in Europe (The Great Synagogue), the largest medicinal bath in Europe, the third largest church in Europe, the second largest Baroque castle in the world and the largest Early Christian Necropolis outside of Italy.
Thermal waters abound in Hungary with over 1000 thermal springs in the country (more than 100 just in the Budapest area) many of which have been turned into baths and spas. There are hundreds of individual baths all around the country. The first thermal baths were erected by the Romans more than 2000 years ago.
