Hungary Self Guided Tours

The Danube Trail Vienna to Budapest has some incredible points of interest (the largest cathedral in Hungary in Esztergom, the city of Gyor and the town of Tata, historically a place where the nobility of Budapest took their holidays). It is worth noting this route strays away from the Danube for a few days so you do not cycle right by it the whole way. The cycling to the city of Gyor is mainly on cycling paths, from here it is on paved backroads, with a few unavoidable streches on busier roads. The cycling is flat and easy for most of the tour. There is only one day with some hills but fortunately, one of the hills has a wine tasting restaurant on top.

REASONS TO VISIT HUNGARY

The Food: It is no secret that food is one of the universal languages of the world, and Hungarian food remains the most sophisticated style of cooking in Eastern Europe. Their reputation as a food centre dates back largely to the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th. Despite a fallow period under communism, their cuisine is still some of the most popular food in East Europe, as are their world-renowned wines. From the big-bodied reds of Eger and Villány and white Olaszrizling from Badacsony to honey-sweet Tokaj.
The architecture: There is an old city that already existed during Roman times and the former capital of Hungary between the 900’s and 1200’s, called Esztergom which was home to King Bela IV before he moved to the nation’s capital of Budapest.
Hungarian Folk Culture: There is one thing that the Hungarians are proud of apart from their food, it’s their folk culture and identity. Hungary has one of the richest folk traditions still alive in Europe.
Activities galore: Once in Hungary - you will never get bored or run out of activities to do. The country has a massive offering of activities ranging from opera, hiking, markets, the Budapest nightlife and tours of their various national landmarks.
