A landlocked country in Central Europe home to an assortment of cultures, Hungary is bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovania. The landscape mostly consists of flat to rolling plains of the Carpathian Basin, with hills and lower mountains to the north along the Slovakian border. Hungary is further blessed with bodies of water including the largest thermal lake in the world, Lake Heviz (Heviz Spa)!It is said that you can push a stick into the ground anywhere in Hungary and see a sprout of thermal water with curative properties shoot up. The crust of the earth is quite thin at the Carpathian Basin, and so Hungary is a land of more than one thousand hot springs and enough spa facilities to accommodate some thirty thousand people all at once. Take a thermal bath, relax, or cure yourself from a specific ailment - spas with natural spring thermal water are a healthy vacation choice, even better than the Thai massages!
What is more, Hungary is a land for equestrian holidays. Here's where you can still ride a horse or carriage just as you would in the romantic past. Full service riding centres near Budapest and in the countryside are established for you to enjoy riding instruction and horseback excursions, often including horse shows.
