Budapest
Two cities in one! Buda on a hill, historical part of the city and Pest on a plain its shops and boulevards both separated by the Danube flowing between them and connected by magnificent bridges. Budapest looks its most beautiful at dawn, yet it is also spectacularly appealing at night. With a unique, youthful atmosphere, a world-class classical music scene as well as a pulsating night life and an exceptionally rich offering of natural thermal baths, Budapest is one of Europe`s most delightful and enjoyable cities. This is a vibrant city: it throbs with life morning, noon and night; a remarkable and wholly unpretentious place.

Pecs
Pécs is the largest city in the Southern Transdanubia region of Hungary, situated about 20 miles west of the Danube River and 20 miles north of the border with Croatia. During the Roman era, the city was called Sopianae and was a center of Christianity during the first few centuries of the Common Era. The ruins of a 4th-century necropolis are listed on the register of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. As a result of multiple conquests from different ethnic groups, there are a mix of cultural influences seen here, such as the oldest university in Hungary, founded by the Magyars; and the Mosque of Pasha Qasim Victorious, from the 150-year rule imposed by the Ottomans. Pécs is a UNESCO City of Peace as well as a former European Capital of Culture. In the past decade, many buildings and monuments have undergone renovations, a testament to how the city reveres its history.

Gyor
Gyor is the principal city in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary, located halfway between Vienna and Budapest. The city was founded by the Celts in the 5th century BCE; it was also a Roman settlement in the province of Pannonia called Arrabona. The Magyars arrived in the year 900 CE and gave the town its current name. The buildings you will see in the city today were built from the time of the Renaissance, when Gyor saw a resurgence, to the 19th century, when it boomed as a port on the Danube River. Gyor is in fact located at the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, the Raba, and the Rabca. Important sights in the area include the 15th-century Doczy Chapel; the Gothic-Baroque-hybrid Gyor Cathedral; the Museum of Roman Archaeology; and about 12 miles out of town, the Pannonhalma Archabbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Balatonalmadi
Balatonalmádi is actually a large town that was once three separate villages -- Balatonalmádi, Káptalanfüred, and Vörösberény -- all clustered on the northern shore of Lake Balaton. Where the center of town sits today was once a large vineyard. When the vineyards died off at the start of the 20th century, the landowners decided to build rental homes to make the area a vacation destination for the middle class. After over 100 years, it is still one of the more popular resort towns on Lake Balaton. There are beaches close to the center of town which offer various water sporting activites, and there is also a state-of-the-art marina for those wanting to enjoy a day (or more) on the water. Points of interest include the walled Reformed Church of Vörösberény, a Calvinist church dating from the 18th century.
