Hungary

Hungary's capital and star attraction lies between the Buda Hills and the Great Plain. Budapest is justly famous for its World Heritage architecture and thriving arts scene but there is much more to Hungary than its capital. Seeing Hungary by train offers the opportunity to see Esztergom, the shores of the Danube and the traditional skills of rural Hungarians. Crossing the Great Plain of Hungary by train also offers humbling views of a vast continental landscape. As well as seeing Hungary by train Great Rail Journeys also offer cruises along the Danube which take in Austria and Slovakia.

This striking country of quaint villages, beautiful cities and exquisite countryside where rolling hillsides and green valleys give way to picturesque grasslands flourishing with orchards and vineyards is not to be overlooked. The nation is abundant with diverse landscapes and interesting locations and these are easily accessible when you tour Hungary by train. From the world's largest thermal water cave system to the second largest fresh water lake in Europe, the nation has plenty of amazing sights and attractions with which to delight its guests.

Explore the history and culture of this fascinating country and take an extraordinary journey through Hungary by train.
