Hungary has been around for over a thousand years — founded by King Saint Stephen(Szent István), ruled by more kings than you can count, and shaped by enough history to fill a whole Netflix series.
And then there’s the Hungarian language.
Magyar is basically Europe’s odd cousin: it’s not related to German, not related to Slavic, not even close to English — it just does its own thing. But locals love when travellers give it a try. Say “szia” (hi) or “köszi” (thanks), and you’ll instantly earn a smile — even if your accent sounds like you’re fighting for survival.
Hungary’s history is big, its language is unique, and discovering both is half the fun of visiting.
Hope you’ll fall in love with this country just as much as locals do — its history, its quirks, its flavours, and its warm welcomes have a way of charming every traveller who arrives.
