Often described as the 'spa capital of the world' and the host of major national and international festivals throughout the year, Hungary is a wealth of culture, history and indulgence. Spectacular architecture lines the streets of this fascinating country, and just as imposing is the sense of traditional, often displayed in the form of folk dancing, embroidery and pottery-making.

With a host of spas and thermal 'healing' baths, a holiday to Hungary may turn out to be one of the most therapeutic sojourns you ever take. With over a 1,000 hot springs throughout the country, the waters in these parts are deemed to have beneficial qualities for those with ailments, and most of the spas offer treatments such as mud baths and massage.

Famous for its unusual traditional folk- and food-based products available to buy from any of the smaller traditional shops in Budapest, such as red paprika, painted eggs, porcelain and lace, there is also the possibility of browsing the larger shopping and entertainment centres, which incorporate hundreds of shops, cinemas and food courts.

Hunting is a major pastime in Hungary, as is horse riding and golf - a direct contrast to the relaxing calm of the spas - so if you are looking for an activity holiday, this destination is ideal.
