Hungary, forever caught in a secret love affair with paprika, is the undiscovered gem of Europe; where thermal baths are the local meeting place and wi-fi is, thankfully, easier to find than a vampire. It's a country that manages to straddle both eastern and western Europe, teasing with its real-life fairy-tale castles and hearty cuisine (they're not just goulash-obsessed, you know). In Hungary, the wine flows like the mighty Danube River, but don't let the palinka fool you - that stuff has a kick harder than Hungary's national football team. This is a country where history, culture, and Puli dogs with dreadlocks never fail to charm visitors.
