More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a quiet, air-conditioned car in Budapest at dawn and watch the city thin into the open Hungarian plain. The driver steers onto the motorway; the Danube threads the landscape ahead, and within an hour you're in Győr, where pastel facades and baroque squares open like pages in a history book.
