Introduction
Hungary lures the tourists with its rich wines, wild life, bird life and the wild coast. The country is known for its pleasant spring as well as warm summer. The winter season is extremely cold causing the shops, museums and other tourist places to shut down, so the tourists must avoid this time period.

The capital city Budapest attracts the tourists with its lively arts, café, music and also hosts a range of cultural and sporting festivals. The architecture and the rich cultural heritage of Budapest has given it the appellation of the 'Paris of Eastern Europe'. A cruise along the river Danube, a visit to the antique bookshops and jewellery stores or relaxation at one of the many city's spas can be a refreshing experience for you. Though a labyrinth, the city is ideal for pedestrians.
