Hungary, in English officially the Republic of Hungary, is a landlocked country in the Carpathian Basin of Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Its capital is Budapest. Hungary is a member of OECD, NATO, EU, V4 and is a Schengen state. The official language is Hungarian, which is part of the Finno-Ugric family, thus one of the four official languages of the European Union that are not of Indo-European origin.

Hungary 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 boast 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 to us – the legendary Hungarian hospitality.
