Budapest lights the Danube. Lake shores invite a slower day. Craft and knowledge give familiar traditions a continuing life. Discover Hungary through the places people make their own.
Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Budapest, the capital, lies on both sides of the Danube. Hungarian is the official language and the currency is the Hungarian forint.
The capital is one introduction. Lake Balaton, historic regional towns and cultivated lowland landscapes offer others. Bathing architecture, music and craft bring different textures to the national picture.
Hungary is a parliamentary republic and has been a member of the European Union since 2004. Its relationship with Uganda includes diplomatic channels and a documented pathway for scholarship applications.
