There are plenty of options for a respite from city life since you can get practically anywhere in Hungary in under three hours. The charming art-filled town of Szentendre is just a short train ride from Budapest and makes for a perfect half-day or day trip. Spend a day visiting wineries and exploring old cellar rows in Etyek, just a 45-minute drive from Budapest. To dig even deeper into Hungary’s wine culture, spend a few days in Villány, Tokaj, or Eger. Farther afield, Pécs, close to the Croatian border, offers enough museums and culture to fill several days. During the summer, practically all of Hungary heads to Lake Balaton to swim in the shallow water of one of Europe’s largest lakes.
