Why visit Hungary?
Recently the Forbes Magazine has named Hungary as the top location in a list of “Countries To See In The Recession”. The list was build on a value-for-money basis, meaning it took into consideration the better value of USD in these countries. Looking at the current exchange rates I have to agree that Eastern and Central European countries have recently gained high cost advantage over e.g. Western Europe.
In Hungary the summer and autumn seasons are especially culturally sparkling, with lots of events for every taste. Unfortunately its not always easy to find English language information on these events, so I though I share at least two pages that worth a try as a starting point:
- the English section of one of the largest online Hungarian program guides, which might not be 100% translated, but at least selected events are highlighted also in English.
- The international community in Hungary: XpatLoop, where the information pages can also help you choose the right events for you.
Budapesthungaryblog.com and Pestiside also have regularly updated suggestions.
I’ll update this post as I come across further useful links, any such suggestions are also welcome.
