A brief guide to Hungary
- About
Hungary
Hungary,
officially the Republic of Hungary, is a landlocked
country in Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia,
Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia.
Hungary has been a member state of the European Union
since May 1, 2004.
Both economically and culturally, Hungary is dominated by its capital, Budapest. Home to around a fifth of the population, it is divided into two parts by the River Danube, historical Buda on the west bank, industrial Pest to the east; the pair were once separate entities but were joined in 1873 to form a single municipality. Buda is built upon hills, Castle Hill and Gellért Hill, their feet almost standing in the water. Buda is quite simply stunning, with many locations now recognised by UNESCO with World Heritage status.
Geography & Climate
Hungary's landscape consists mostly of flat to rolling plains of the Carpathian Basin, with hills and lower mountains to the north along the Slovakian border (highest point: the Kékes at 3,327 ft; 1,014 m). Hungary is divided in two by its main waterway, the Danube (Duna); other large rivers include the Tisza and Dráva, while the western half contains Lake Balaton, a major body of water. The largest thermal lake in the world, Lake Hévíz (Hévíz Spa), is located in Hungary. The second largest lake in the Carpathian Basin is Lake Theiss (Tisza-tó).
