Hungary
Danube-bisected European nation
Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia.
Its capital is Budapest.
The Hungarian language belongs to the Finno-Ugric family, unrelated to neighboring Slavic and Germanic tongues.
We spent a week in Hungary visiting thermal baths and historic castles.
