Hungary is a beautiful country: however, Budapest attracts the lion's share of tourism. Tourist facilities outside of Budapest, though widely available, are not as developed as those found in Western Europe.

Traveling in Hungary outside of Budapest is a difficult task for all but the experienced traveler. Although the number of Hungarians who speak English is on the rise, the Hungarian language is not one that lends itself to use by the casual tourist.
