Hungary is located in the Carpathian (Pannonian, or Central Danubian) Basin, in the south-eastern part of Central Europe between 16°05’ and 22°58’ of eastern longitude, and 45°48’ and 48°35’ of northern latitude, almost equidistant between the equator and the North Pole as you can see in Hungary map. Its territory spans 528 km from the west to the east, and 268 km from the north to the south. Geographical extremes are the village of Garbolc in the east, where the sun rises 27 minutes earlier than over Felsőszölnök in the west; the Nagy-Milic mountain peak in the north and the village of Kásád near the River Dráva in the south.
Hungary held its first multi-party elections in 1990, following four decades of Communist rule, and has succeeded in transforming its centrally planned economy into a market economy. Both foreign ownership of and foreign investment in Hungarian firms are widespread as its shown in Hungary map. Hungary has a requirement to reduce government spending and further reform its economy in order to meet the 2020 target date for accession to the euro zone.
Hungary is famous for its excellent mathematics education which has trained numerous outstanding scientists. Famous Hungarian mathematicians include father Farkas Bolyai and son János Bolyai, designer of modern geometry (non-Euclidian geometry) 1820–1823 as its mentioned in Hungary map. Paul Erdős, famed for publishing in over forty languages and whose Erdős numbers are still tracked; and John von Neumann, Quantum Theory, Game theory a pioneer of digital computing and the key mathematician in the Manhattan Project. Many Hungarian scientists, including Erdős, von Neumann, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner and Edward Teller emigrated to the US. Thirteen Hungarian or Hungarian-born scientists received the Nobel Prize, all of whom emigrated, mostly because of persecution of communist and/or fascist regimes. Contemporary, internationally well-known Hungarian scientists include: mathematician László Lovász, physicist Albert-László Barabási, physicist Ferenc Krausz, biochemist Árpád Pusztai.

Hungary has a highly developed road, railway, air and water transport system. Budapest, the capital of the state, serves as an important node in the public transport network. The Hungarian railway system is centralized around Budapest, where the three main railway stations are the Eastern (Keleti), the Western (Nyugati) and the Southern (Déli) as you can see in Hungary on map. Déli is the most modern but Keleti and Nyugati are more decorative and architecturally impressive. Other important railway stations countrywide include Szolnok (the most important railway junction outside Budapest), Tiszai Railway Station in Miskolc and the stations of Pécs, Győr, Szeged and Székesfehérvár. Four Hungarian cities have tram networks, and the four cities are Budapest, Debrecen, Miskolc and Szeged .
In the Eurostat – Eurobarometer poll of 2005, 44% of Hungarians answered that they believed there is a God, 31% answered they believed there is some sort of spirit or life force, and 19% that they do not believe there is a God, spirit, nor life force as its shown in Hungary on map. The majority of Hungarians became Christian in the 11th century. Hungary first king, Saint Stephen I, took up Western Christianity, although his mother, Sarolt, was baptized in the Eastern Rite. Hungary remained predominantly Catholic until the 16th century, when the Reformation took place and, as a result, first Lutheranism, then soon afterwards Calvinism, became the religion of almost the entire population. In the second half of the 16th century, however, Jesuits led a successful campaign of counterreformation among the Hungarians. The Jesuits founded educational institutions, including Péter Pázmány Catholic University, the oldest university that still exists in Hungary, but organized so-called missions too in order to promote popular piety. By the 17th century, Hungary had once again become predominantly Catholic.
In the earliest times Hungarian language was written in a runic-like script (although it was not used for literature purposes in the modern interpretation). The country switched to the Latin alphabet after being Christianized under the reign of Stephen I of Hungary (1000–1038) as its mentioned in Hungary on map. The oldest remained written record in Hungarian language is a fragment in the founding document of the Abbey of Tihany (1055) which contains several Hungarian terms, among them the words feheruuaru rea meneh hodu utu rea, "up the military road to Fehérvár" The rest of the document was written in Latin. The oldest remained complete text in Hungarian language is the Funeral Sermon and Prayer (Halotti beszéd és könyörgés) (1192–1195), a translation of a Latin sermon. The oldest remained poem in Hungarian is the Old Hungarian Laments of Mary (Ómagyar Mária-siralom), also a (not very strict) translation from Latin, from the 13th century. It is also the oldest surviving Uralic poem.

Hungary is a land of thermal water. A passion for spa culture and Hungarian history have been connected from the very beginning. Hungarian spas feature Roman, Greek, Turkish, and northern country architectural elements. Because of an advantageous geographical location, thermal water can be found with good quality and in great quantities on over 80% of Hungary territory. Approximately 1,500 thermal springs can be found in Hungary as you can see in the Detailed map of Hungary. There are approximately 450 public baths in Hungary. The Romans heralded the first age of spa in Hungary, the remains of their bath complexes are still to be seen in Óbuda, to this day. The spa culture was revived during the Turkish Invasion who used the thermal springs of Buda for the construction of a number of bathhouses, some of which are still functioning (Király Baths, Rudas Baths).
The Hungarian cuisine is a prominent feature of the Hungarian culture, just like the art of hospitality. Traditional dishes such as the world famous Goulash (gulyás stew or gulyás soup) feature prominently as its shown in the Detailed map of Hungary. Dishes are often flavoured with paprika (ground red peppers), a Hungarian innovation. Thick, heavy Hungarian sour cream called tejföl is often used to soften the dishes flavour. The famous Hungarian hot river fish soup called Fisherman soup or halászlé is usually a rich mixture of several kinds of poached fish. Other dishes are Chicken Paprikash, Foie gras made of goose liver, pörkölt stew, vadas, (game stew with vegetable gravy and dumplings), trout with almonds and salty and sweet dumplings, like túrós csusza, (dumplings with fresh quark cheese and thick sour cream). Desserts include the iconic Dobos Cake, Strudels (rétes), filled with apple, cherry, poppy seed or cheese, Gundel pancake, plum dumplings (szilvás gombóc), somlói dumplings, dessert soups like chilled Sour cherry soup and sweet chestnut puree, gesztenyepüré (cooked chestnuts mashed with sugar and rum and split into crumbs, topped with whipped cream). Perec and kifli are widely popular pastries.
There are ten national parks in Hungary. Three of them situated on the Great Plain – Hortobágy, Kiskunság and Körös-Maros – provide protection to the wildlife and fragile wetlands, marshes and saline grasslands of the open puszta as its mentioned in the Detailed map of Hungary. Two are in the north: in the almost completely wooded Bükk Hills and in the Aggtelek region with its extensive system of karst caves. Danube-Ipoly is in Central Hungary, Balaton Uplands is in the West and Danube-Drava National Park is located in the South-west of the country, at the Croatian border. Őrség and Fertő-Hanság are situated at the Austrian border. Hungary is home to more than 2,000 flowering plant species, many of which are not normally found at this latitude. There are a lot of common European animals here (deer, wild hare, boar, otter) as well as some rare species (wild cat, lake bat, Pannonian lizard), and three-quarters of the country 450 vertebrates are birds, especially waterfowls, which are attracted by the rivers, lakes and wetlands.

Northern Hungary is home to the country highest peak, miles and miles of hiking trails, vast cave complexes, lakes, waterfalls, sweet golden and robust red wines, UNESCO world heritage sights and old industrial towns where time has stopped. Hike the Mátra mountain range, where you can summit Hungary highest peak, Kékestető, which is really a walk in the park at just 1,014m high as you can see in the Map of Northern Hungary. Further east you will find the beautiful Bükk Mountains, with woody trails and waterfalls, country palaces and gardens. If going underground is more your style, go to Aggtelek. There is a spectacular 26-km-long cave system with an underground theatre and stalactites and stalagmites so impressive they have got names.
Northern Hungary is home to some pretty extraordinary baths too. A mofetta may sound like the name of a mythical monster but it is in fact a dry bath employing volcanic gas discharge. Find out what the carbon-dioxide that rises from 1,000 metres underground can do for you in Mátraderecske as its shown in the Map of Northern Hungary. Or for a truly unique experience chill out in a cave. The 30 ºC water in the cave bath of Miskolctapolca will treat your joints to some love and care while you enjoy floating in the dim light. In Egerszalók the hot waters from two ancient thermal springs have been flowing out of the side of a hill for ages, leaving behind beautiful mineral formations.
Tokaj-Hegyalja, a World Heritage site since 2002, is the most famous among Hungary wine regions, and not without a reason. It has a very special climate around the perfectly shaped, volcanic Tokaj Mountain, which helps noble rot to evolve thus giving an extraordinary aroma and texture to certain wines. The liquid gold produced here is called Tokaji Aszú, and carries the highandmighty title of ‘king of wines, wine of kings as its mentioned in the Map of Northern Hungary. If you feel like being a king for a day, or just drinking like one, all you need is a bottle of Tokaji and some fancy glassware. When staying in Eger, it is a must to walk over to the Szépasszonyvölgy, or the valley of the beautiful woman, to visit the wine cellars. Here you will find a green valley covered in grapevines with wine cellars built into the hillside one after the other.

In southern Hungary, you will find the fertile Mecsek Hills; Pécs is the major city of this hilly region. Pécs has been named a European Capital of Culture for 2010, when the spotlight will be on highlighting its history and cultural life. On the other side of the Danube to the south and east, lies the mainly agricultural region of the Alföld (Great Plain), which begins not far outside of Budapest as you can see in the Map of Southern Hungary. This is the farmland of wheat and orchards -- a broad, bleak, yet dramatic land mass that covers almost half the country. It is similar to the great prairies of the U.S. The last remains of the Puszta are in this region, where Hungarian folk legends have sprung from, and the land of the Hungarian cowboys or csikós. This is also the home of the famous Nonius horse, a powerful equine breed developed in Hungary in the 19th century, which won the title "Ideal Horse" at the Paris world exhibition in 1900. The main cities here are Kecskemét and Szeged. The Great Plain comprises approximately 51,800 sq. km (20,000 sq. miles).
Sat right on the edge of the Southern Great Plains, on the cusp of the border between Hungary and Serbia, bustling, larger-than-life Szeged rarely fails to enthrall travellers who happen to pass its way. As the fourth largest city in the country overall it is certainly no bucolic getaway, especially considering the injection of vitality that comes with the prestigious University of Szeged and its youthful students. Home to some of the finest examples of original Hungarian Secessionism, Kecskemét beauty comes courtesy of the great Magyar luminary of Art Nouveau, Géza Márkus as its shown in the Map of Southern Hungary. In the heart of the town, leafy Szabadság square conceals the beautiful Ornamental Palace, decorated in glorious frescos of Roma colours, and the enchanting Old Synagogue besides, where curious Mudéjar crenulations top the walls.
Pécs is one of the gorgeous cities in Hungary that is located close to the Croatian border. The town is pretty lively (especially in the evenings) with places like Bloff Bisztro being a great spot to gorge before an evening ‘on the town’. Once you are in Pécs, do not forget to explore; Szechenyi Ter, visit Victor Vasarely Museum where you can view his computer-generated masterpieces from the 19070 as its mentioned in the Map of Southern Hungary. Békéscsaba (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈbeːkeːʃˌtʃɒbɒ]; German: Tschabe, Romanian: Bichişciaba, Slovak: Békešská Čaba) is a city in Southeast Hungary, the capital of the county Békés. Kaposvár (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkɒpoʃvaːr]; Croatian: Kapošvar, Kapuš(ar), Kapušvar, German: Kopisch, Ruppertsberg, Ruppertsburg, Slovene: Rupertgrad, Turkish: Kapoşvar, Serbian: Капошвар, Kapošvar) is the capital of the county of Somogy in Hungary. It lies 186 km (116 mi) south‐west of Budapest, on both sides of the Kapos River.
