Fly from Nice to Hungary, to visit Budapest, but much more!
A flight from Nice to Hungary takes you into the heart of Europe. The former kingdom of the famous Sissi (Empress Elizabeth of Austria) shares a border with no fewer than seven different countries. This country of ten million inhabitants has given the world thirteen Nobel Laureates and an invention that drove half the world mad: the Rubik's Cube! But brilliant though it is, it's rarely for this formidable puzzle that people book their direct flight from Nice to Hungary. Nor is it to try a plate of goulash, even if this beef and paprika soup is truly delicious. No, behind a Nice-Hungary plane ticket, there is often a ‘capital’ desire: Budapest!

A great classic and some great new discoveries
Budapest is the pride of the Hungarian people and delights all who visit it. You can revel in the majestic monuments, the medieval beauty of Buda Hill, the superb Belle Époque façades lining the main avenues of Pest, the soothing waters of the thermal baths, the delicate décor of the neo-Renaissance cafés, the whimsical atmosphere of the romkocsmák - the famous ruin bars - and the mouth-watering foodstalls of Nagycsarnok, the large central market. No wonder Budapest is known as the ‘Pearl of the Danube!’
But what if, just for once, you took the path less travelled? Budapest may be magnificent, but Hungary as a whole is well worth exploring. Its diversity is astonishing . Lakes, mountains, castles, picturesque villages and towns, thermal baths and vineyards: there's nothing monotonous about a holiday in the land of Franz Liszt, composer of the famous Hungarian Rhapsodies. Sip a glass of Tokay, one of the world's finest white wines, at the foot of the vineyards. You can take the waters in Hévíz and sail on those of the Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe. Take a trip back in time as you stroll through the medieval streets of Hollókő, one of Europe's most beautiful villages. In a nutshell, Hungary is... Unforgettable!
