Don’t miss the south
In Hungary’s southern reaches, the landscape becomes wilder, flatter and more remote.
Better lake than never
Lake Balaton is the closest that landlocked Hungary comes to having a seaside and the mood here is one of maritime merriment, thanks to boating, watersports and swimming when the mercury rises.
Look north
A futuristic Hungarian hotel sits amid volcanic vineyards, while a thousand-year-old abbey employs locals in winemaking—discovering northern Hungary's blend of innovation and tradition.
City of culture and charm
Most international visitors will travel through Hungary's postcard-pretty capital of fairy-tale castles and soaring spires. Here we suggest the top tables, best hotels and key cultural venues within the Pearl of the Danube.
Laying down routes
Searching for places that are untrampled by mass tourism, where the wines are well made and well priced, we recommend a trip or two beyond Hungary’s capital to its surrounding regions.
Hungary for more?
The Magyars, as Hungarians are sometimes known, landed in the Carpathian Basin a millennium ago – and you can see why they stayed. The Central European nation has surprises aplenty.
Expo: Southern comfort
France's raffish second city hides a sun-bleached natural charm behind its sometimes disreputable image. We take to Marseilles' lesser-known locales and head out along the coast to discover its salty celebration of tradition.
Room for all
The Danish capital’s latest hotel venture pays homage to its past life as the city’s central post office. It gets our stamp of approval.
Holiday snaps
We focus on a selection of the planet’s finest new hotels and drop in on the shop that sells everything you’ll need to capture the moment once you get to them.
Small wonder
Looking for an escape that feels a world away from the usual islands and crowded beaches? The autonomous Åland Islands between Finland and Sweden have great food, peerless shops and long days of sunshine.
