must-see tourist attractions in Hungary

Although Hungary is poor in resources, it has beautiful mountains and rivers, magnificent and distinctive buildings. It is full of hot springs and has four distinct seasons. Tourists from all over the world come here. Budapest, the capital city, located on the bank of the Danube River, is a famous ancient city in Europe with unlimited scenery and is known as the "Pearl on the Danube River". Lake Balaton, Europe's largest freshwater lake, is also a highlight that attracts a large number of tourists. In addition, Hungary's grape wine also adds luster to the country, and is famous for its long history and mellow wine taste. Hungary's unique natural scenery and cultural landscapes make it a major tourist country and one of Hungary's important sources of foreign exchange.

Memorial Park Memorial Park is an open-air museum located on the outskirts of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It was mainly established to commemorate the short communist period in Hungarian history (1949 - 1989). Statues of world communist greats such as Marx, Engels, and Lenin, as well as Hungarian communist leaders such as Béla Kun, Endre Ságvári and Arpad Szakasits are erected in the park, which are very popular with tourists from all over the world.

The Memorial Park was built in 1993. At that time, due to financial reasons, the park was still in an unfinished state, and some of the main components of the original design of the park had not yet been completed. Despite this, the park has received many tourists since its opening. After a large number of tourists interested in the park in the previous weeks and months, the number of tourists in the park has become more balanced. The debate over the establishment of this park to collect communist-era sculptures has also gradually subsided. In 2006, a new life-size Budapest Stalin Monument was added to the park. This sculpture is not a copy of the original sculpture, but an artistic re-creation of it by artist Akos Ehrde. Its completion marks a new page in the development of Memorial Park. In 2007, a new exhibition hall and a small movie theater were added to the Memorial Park to provide visitors with a comprehensive display of Hungary's revolutionary history in 1956, the history of the political transformation from 1989 to 1990, and the history of the park.

After years of development, the Memorial Park has not only become a famous tourist attraction in Budapest, but has also gradually become a cultural and artistic education base. Many festivals and major events are held here every year, and tourists continue to flow.

Agterek Cave and Slovakia Karst Agterek Cave and Slovakia Karst are located at the junction of southern Slovakia and northern Hungary, straddling the hilly terrain of the southern Carpathian Mountains. Agterek Cave was first listed as a scenic reserve by the Hungarian Ministry of Environment and Nature Conservation in 1978, and was re-established as a national park by legislation in 1985; the Slovakia Karst was listed as a scenic reserve by the Ministry of Culture of Slovakia in 1973. Both were included in the Man and Biosphere Program by UNESCO in 1977 and 1979 respectively.

Agterek National Park covers an area of 19708 hectares, and the Slovakia Karst Scenic Reserve covers an area of 36165 hectares, but the part listed as the "World Natural Heritage" only includes the cave itself. Agterek Cave and Slovakia Karst are the largest areas for karst topography research in Europe, with 712 caves identified so far. Many of the younger caves formed on the edge of the highlands have filter stones as natural decorations, but the most striking of these are the world's tallest stalagmites (32.7 meters), aragonite, and spring formations and ice-covered abyssal waters (considering the altitude of the area, this is a real wonder in Central Europe).

Agteek Cave and Slovakia Karst are famous for their unique karst topography and natural and biological formations. Their value is immeasurable both from the perspective of scientific research and artistic appreciation. Since the first steps and fences were built in 1806, tourists have come to visit Hungarian caves. Nowadays, only three caves in Agtelek National Park are open all year round, and there are countless tourists coming here every year.

Grand Ring Road The Grand Ring Road is the main road in the most central and busiest area of Budapest. It was first built on the occasion of the Hungarian Millennium Celebration in 1896. It forms a semicircle that connects two bridges on the Danube River: the Margaret Bridge at the north end and the Petofi Bridge at the south end. It not only plays a huge role in Budapest's transportation operations, but also connects many famous attractions in the city and becomes a thoroughfare familiar to tourists. Generally, the area within and along the Grand Ring Road is counted as the city center of Budapest.

The Grand Ring Road is 35 to 40 meters wide and about 4.5 kilometers long (excluding the bridge and Buda side), with a tram track in the middle. It passes through several major squares, such as Nyugati tér, Oktogon and Blaha Lujza tér, and serves as the main coordinate frame of reference for local residents. The four main roads that intersect with it, such as Váci út (north), András Street (northeast, World Heritage Site), Rákóczi út (east), etc., are also the lifeblood roads of Budapest's transportation.

On the Grand Ring Road, from north to south, there are famous attractions such as the Comedy Theater (Vígszínház, 1896), the West Railway Station (Nyugati pályaudvar, 1877), the New York Cafe (1894), and the Art Nouveau Movement-style Applied Art Museum (1896).

Hortobaji National Park Hortobaji National Park is located in Hervis County, Hajdu-Bihar State, very close to the village of Hortobaji. The mission of Hortobaji National Park is to protect the world of flora and fauna and unique landforms, and save ancient buildings, cultural relics, and hydrological activities and other data.

The vast HorTobaghi area is rich in ecological environment types and can be divided into four distinct environmental components: the first part is the "fish pond" fish pond, which is the largest artificial fish pond in the area; the Heklesh River is a permanent swamp, mostly salt lakes and partially freshwater lakes. Surrounded by humid pastures and low grasslands; the Tisafiride Bird Sanctuary is part of the Tisafiride River flood plain, with open waters, islands, mud flats, grasslands and forests; the Pustau area is a complex of various ecological environments such as salt lake swamps, seasonally wet pastures, low alkaline grasslands, loess grasslands and exposed mud flats. The grassland is basically a reservoir for wetlands. The Tisafiride Bird Sanctuary is also home to several globally endangered animals, including various lode species.

For many aquatic birds and carnivorous birds that live in humid environments, the entire wetland is an important place for hunting, breeding and regular transportation. There are also several endemic plants here, such as Suaeda salsa, Limonium and Plantain. During the animal migration season, more than 20000 swans are regularly raised in the park, and many other genera and species of animals are raised throughout the year.

Hortobaji National Park was recognized as a dark night park by the International Dark Night Association in 2011. It has become the most ideal place to view the beautiful starry sky, realizing the wish of many people to view the bright starry sky with their naked eyes, and becoming one of the most famous dark night parks in the world.

Tobacco Street Synagogue is located in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It was built between 1854 and 1859. It is the largest synagogue in Asia and Europe and the second largest synagogue in the world after the Temple Emanu-El Synagogue on Fifth Avenue in New York.

The tradition of synagogues is based on the temples in Jerusalem, but the temples in Jerusalem have not left images that can be emulated. Therefore, synagogue buildings around the world are diverse and greatly influenced by local culture and other religions. General synagogues include a "covenant ark" that holds the scrolls of the Pentateuch; a large platform used for reading the Pentateuch; and a constantly illuminated seven-candlestick, which is a symbol of the Jews and is said to have originated from Moses seeing the olive trees burning on Mount Sinai; there is also a small podium facing the covenant ark for rabbis to stand on and lead prayers. Idol and portraits are not allowed in synagogues, like mosques. Some rabbis suggested that synagogues should have only 12 windows to symbolize the 12 tribes of Israelis who fled Egypt led by Moses, wishing all Israelis to unite. However, due to architectural needs, not all churches adopt this design.

The Tobacco Street Synagogue was designed and built by famous Viennese architects in the 19th century. The entire church is 75 meters long and 27 meters wide. It is built in Byzantine-Moorish style. The decoration style is mainly based on Islamic models from North America and medieval Spain. During the Second World War, the church was severely damaged by the Nazis. The church was renovated in 1991, completed in 1998, and reopened to the world.

Somerbothay is located in the west of Hungary, close to the Austrian border. It is the capital of Vos Oblast and the tenth largest city in Hungary. The city is the political center of western Hungary and is famous as the birthplace of the Christian saint Mardin of Dur. In addition, it is also the birthplace of the Duke of Ambrust.

Sombothay is a fairly long-standing museum founded in 45 AD and is considered to be the oldest city in Hungary. The city, whose name means "Saturday Market", was once a market town that hosted a large medieval market every Saturday. Sombothay Cathedral is the third largest cathedral in Hungary. It was built among the ruins of ancient Rome. Unfortunately, it was severely destroyed during World War II. Only a small part of the altar paintings and ceiling murals are still being restored. The Smidt Museum was built in the southeast of a medieval castle and has a dazzling collection, including Wash State handicrafts, military history collections, medals and coins, glass art collections, antiques and rare books. Isis Art Museum is a museum dedicated to collecting art works by contemporary artists and is an ideal place to appreciate art. In addition, you can also visit the Sombothay City Art Museum, the Savaria Museum, the Water History Museum, etc.

The most worthy park to visit in Sombothay is the historical theme park. It is a unique park that displays natural science, allowing people to understand the infinite wisdom of the ancients. The buildings and facilities in the park reappear ancient technologies and ancient building materials, making it suitable for people of all ages.

Pannonhalm Millennium Monastery Pannonhalm Millennium Monastery is the only traditional Benedictine temple complex in Hungary today. The monastery, the corridor surrounding the central square, and the central courtyard form the center of the monastery. The monk's way of life is constantly spread to his surroundings and passed down from generation to generation. The church stands in the north, and on the east side is the chaplain's auditorium. It is here where local civilians are led by monks to pray and discuss daily matters with them. The monastery's canteen is located in the south, and the high-temperature bathroom is closely connected to the canteen. Since the Middle Ages, this bathroom has lost its inherent heat. To the west are the workshop and writing room, and upstairs are the bedrooms. The courtyard is planted with flowers and medical herbs that appeared in medieval monastery prescriptions.

The core of the monastery is the large turret of the Christian Church with a classical hue, surrounded by cylindrical towers. On the left of the monastery is a library with another classical architectural style-the Baroque style, which is clearly visible. To the right of the monastery is a Baroque building built in the early 18th century. The stadium was built in 1940 and is located on the south side of the monastery. The magnificent building we see today ranks third among its kind, and it applies many of the principles of early building structure.

Soulnok Soulnok is located in central Hungary, on the banks of the Tysa River. It is the capital of the Jas-Nagykon-Soulnok state. Located in the heart of Hungary's Great Plains, the city has been an important cultural and economic center of Hungary for centuries.

Although not the largest city in Hungary, Sordinok is the beautiful capital city of Hungary. Its charm is reflected in every corner of the city, allowing you to always feel the city's unique charm and unique beauty. In addition to the precious wealth of various wild animals near the Tissa River, the city's greatest wealth is the natural hot spring water source. In recent years, more and more hot spring baths have been discovered and utilized. The natural hot springs in the ponds can not only treat diseases, but also strengthen the body, and are favored by people at home and abroad. The much-watched Roman Catholic Cathedral is in Baroque style, dating back to the 1870s, and its Baroque decorations are very charming. The Hungarian Aviation Museum is the most famous museum in the city. It was established in 1973. It tells the history of Hungary's aviation and collects and displays Hungary's ancient military and civil aircraft.

Tokaj Speaking of wine, Hungary is arguably the most eye-catching wine producer among the Balkans and Eastern European countries. Hungarian wines are well-known in the world, especially the famous Tokai wine is considered to be one of the best wines in the world, and the town of Tokai, where this wine is produced, is the most dazzling among many "Hungarian wine towns". Pearl. Tokai is located in the northeast of Budapest. Its good natural ecological conditions have made it the production area of the world's most outstanding sweet white wine "Tokai Osu" since the mid-16th century.

As a cultural landscape, the Tokai wine region fully demonstrates the long history and splendid culture of wine production in northeastern Hungary. The entire Tokai region is both a grape and wine-producing area, and a tourist attraction that perfectly combines natural and cultural landscapes. Grapes have been cultivated artificially here since the 12th century and are considered to be the world's earliest grape plantation and wine processing site. However, it was not until the Austro-Hungarian Empire that the Tokai wines brewed here truly became popular in Europe. Here, everything from plantations, farmhouses, wine cellars to churches is protected. The Tokai area holds folk activities such as grape festivals and wine tastings every year, forming a tourist area with local cultural characteristics and attracting many domestic and foreign tourists.
