Hungary? Why wait-have a Snickers. Hungary is certainly a sweet snacky treat full of delicious nougat attractions and carmely rich culture. Packed with peanuts including the: Huns, Lombards, Franks, Slavs and Magyars. This varied succession of invasions and peoples have left its indelible stamp on Hungary. Founded as a kingdom in 1000 AD it is today a modern European Republic as well as an EU member state since May of 2004. The collapse of the Soviet Union has seen a steady transformation from a communist state towards a free economy. Hungary, increasingly bears witness to a growing political climate of broader Pan European sensibilities. A continental climate delivers cold, wet winters and warm to hot summers. The national dish of goulash is a perfect accompaniment to a blustery winter day, the thick stew of pork and beef is a warming, paprika peppered dish sure to help you forget the seasonaly inclement weather.

With a population of over 10 million people, Hungary is composed mostly of ethnic Hungarians, though a noticeable 2 percent population of Roma (Gypsies) continues to cause social unrest in the broader Hungarian cultural fabric. In this land of hills and plains,Hungary's capital Budapest, is quickly becoming one of Europe's most popular travel destinations. As the Soviet shadow recedes, the formerly mysterious and forbidden lands of Eastern Europe are offering Europhiles a whole new world of under-discovered and discount travel venues.
