Six days in a country that sits on more thermal water than almost anywhere on earth and built its capital around it: four days in Budapest, two cities on two banks joined into one, then east to Eger, a Baroque town with a siege in its history and red wine in its cellars. See the full itinerary.

Two cities that merged in 1873 and never quite blended: hilly, royal, quiet Buda on the west bank, and flat, grand, restless Pest on the east. The Danube between them is lined with the kind of nineteenth-century architecture built by a country trying very hard to be taken seriously, and underneath it all is thermal water the Romans and then the Ottomans both bathed in.
A Baroque town of 60,000 in the northern hills, famous for two things: holding off an Ottoman siege in 1552 with two thousand defenders against a vastly larger army, and making Egri Bikavér, the red blend the story gave its name to. The northernmost Ottoman minaret in Europe still stands a few streets from the castle that beat them.
Museums, parks, and neighborhoods are on the full Hungary itinerary, sequenced into a realistic day-by-day plan with transport between cities.
