Budapest
Self-Catering / Vacation Rental Accommodation
As a travel destination,
Budapest has long been a favourite of city break tourists, who travel in
their droves each year to soak up the myriad cultural and historical sights
and attractions. There's so much more to Budapest than the constraints
of the city, however. Should you hire a car in Budapest, you'll discover
that the Hungarian capital is surrounded by some of the most picturesque
scenery in Europe. Car hire in Budapest takes you on an exciting voyage
of discovery through scenic wine regions, charming mountain villages and
inspiring artists retreats. Natural parks are also plentiful, offering
a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
 1.
Etyek Wine Region
A short 26km drive from Budapest
will take you to Hungary's Etyek wine region. On the way you'll pass the
lush landscape of the northern border of the County Fejer, a fertile area,
which lends itself to 2000 hectares of vineyard. Etyek's variety of grapes
is specially grown for sparking wine, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot
Gris. The region's most famous wine enterprise is that of the Törley
family, which first came to prominence in Hungary towards the end of the
19th century.
2. Hollóko Village
The pretty village of Hollóko
is a 100km journey north of Budapest. From Budapest, follow the M3 motorway
to Hatvan and then exit at route 21. Hollóko is signposted immediately
before Pászto. This World Heritage site is well worth a drive and
offers visitors the chance to experience traditional Hungarian village
life. Attractions in Hollóko include authentic Hungarian peasant
dwellings, a post-office, school and village hall, which create the impression
of a 'living museum'. Villagers of Hollóko are known as Palóc
people and are proud of their preserved dialect, traditions and costumes.
Hollóko plays host to a number of festivals and events during the
calendar year including The Easter Festival, July's Rasberry Festival and
August's Castle Tournament.
 3.
Hortobágy National Park
Hortobágy National
Park is Europe's largest open grassland plain can be reached from Budapest
via the M3 motorway to Füzesabony. From here, follow route 33 towards
Debrecen. Hortobágy is home to a wide range of flora and fauna including
the mangalica pig and the grey cattle.
Top visitor attractions in
Hortobágy include the village tourist centre, the Herdsmen's Museum
and the Kilenclyukú híd stone bridge.
The park is the venue for
a number of popular events including International Horse Days and the Hídi
Fair in August.
Szentendre Artist Retreat
The charming and historic
town of Szentendre is situated in Pest County, not far from Budapest. Szentendre
is famous for its rich cultural heritage. The cobbled streets and picturesque
medieval buildings have long attracted artists and writers to the town.
Today Szentendre is famous for its museums and art galleries. Art galleries
worth a visit include Palmetta Design Gallery, Lajos Vajda Museum and Szentendre
Gallery. The town also boasts a good range of shops, reasonably priced
restaurants and cheap cafés, catering to thrifty artists and tourists
on a budget.
