Hungary is a small, landlocked country in central Europe. Great economic and social changes have occurred in Hungary since the late 1940’s.

Before that time, most of the country’s income came from agriculture, and the majority of Hungarians lived in rural areas and worked on farms. But Hungary’s economy has become increasingly industrialized.

Today, manufacturing and other industries contribute more to the national income than does farming. More Hungarians now work in industry than on farms. Almost a fifth of Hungary’s people live in Budapest, the country’s capital and largest city

Hungary is a heart-stealer; it will lure you back again and again to sample its rich wines, lounge in its thermal spas, gaze at its birdlife and make one more attempt to master its hermetic language. It has all the luxury of western Europe with a Magyar twist and at half the cost.

Its graceful capital Budapest has a lively arts, cafe and music scene, and is host to a range of cultural and sporting festivals. In the countryside you’ll find majestic plains, resort-lined lakes, Baroque towns, horse markets and rustic villages
