Hungary is small in size – but has so much to offer. During this car tour we lead you along the most spectacular roads of Hungary, showing you its many geographical, historical and cultural values we are proud of. Most of the time avoiding main roads, we take you to the top sights but also to hidden treasures: peaceful green valleys, silent woods and tiny villages.

 Mileage total: 1500 km
