Country Details
Hungary, landlocked in eastern Europe, is bordered by seven countrys and divided almost in half by the massive Danube River.
Once one of the largest kingdoms in Europe, it suffered through many centuries of invasions, unwanted occupations, two World Wars and the Communist Party.
Recently a free-market economy has emerged; Hungary joined NATO in 1999, and will join the European Union (EU), in 2004.
The country's crown jewel is the dazzling capital city of Budapest, known for its architectural style, amazingly diverse restaurants, Gypsy music and friendly people.
The Hungary maps and information pages are currently being revised, but will be posted soon.
