Your travel guide to Hungary

If you only travel to one region of Hungary during your time in the country, then you could do much worse than visit the wonderful region of Central Transdanubia. It is made up of three different counties, named Fejér, Komárom-Esztergom, and Veszprém. Much of the wider area of Transdanubia, named after the elegant Danube River which lies its easternmost border, was referred to by the Romans as Pannonia. The region is very beautiful and covers mountainous areas that border Austria as well as open plains that signal the approach of the Hungarian capital a few miles away. Most importantly, it is the stunning Lake Balaton which attracts many visitors, situated at the southern part of Veszprém.

Hungary: Be inspired

What to do, to see, to hear...

Get ready Don't buy euros before you depart for Hungary because although it is an EU member, the country continues to operate its own currency, the forint.
Explore Esztergom is not far from Budapest and a good place to commence your exploration of Central Transdanubia. It is home to the largest church in Central Europe.
Say

« Zsír! », « Király! » » : « It's cool ! », « It's delicious ! »
Taste Olive oil production is taking off in Central Transdanubia although it has not fully established itself internationally. Pick up a bottle or two to take home as a souvenir.
Hike Pápa is a medium-sized town in Veszprém county where you feel like you are in the real Hungary. Since it is near to the Bakony Hills, it is a good place if you like to go hiking.
Visit The small city of Komárom sits on the Danube with a much-visited historical fortress to explore.

Transports in Hungary

Trains run all over the region with many of them terminating in the country's capital city, to the east. Bus routes connect all of the major population centres in all three counties but these tend to offer a much slower way of getting about. Car hire is popular but many rural roads in the region have potholes to watch out for plus slow-moving agricultural traffic.

When to go to Hungary

Without a doubt, the best time to come to any part of Hungary is from late spring until September. At this time, the glorious central European countryside is at its best. Only if you are seeking snow in the northern parts of Central Transdanubia should you come in winter. Lake Balaton is the place to head in early July when it is home to a hugely popular electronic music festival. There is an eco and yoga festival called Everness that is held in the region in June, too.

What to do in Hungary

Central Transdanubia has plenty of activities to keep you occupied during your time in the region.
