Legendary Hungary

When Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi was asked if he believed in extraterrestrials, he replied: "They are among us, but they call themselves Hungarians."

This small country is one of the oldest European countries, situated in the middle of the continent in Central Europe. Hungarians speak a language and form a culture unlike any other in the region: this distinctiveness has been both a source of pride and an obstacle for more than 1100 years.

This is the country....

- which boasts one of the world's most beautiful cities: Budapest, the "Pearl of the Danube"

- where 2000 year old Roman ruins and 400 year old Turkish monuments can be found side by side

- where Central Europe's largest fresh water lake - Balaton - is located, providing natural paradise for its visitors

- where hundreds of therapeutic mineral springs gush up from the depths

And there is something else that keeps bringing visitors back - the legendary Hungarian hospitality.
