Overlanding in Hungary Hungary is probably not the first country that springs into mind when it comes to planning an overlanding trip. There are lots of great destinations around Hungary, such as the coast of Croatia, the Austrian Alps or the hidden villages and adventurous trails of Transylvania. The landlocked, relatively flat and densely populated Hungary, however, is not on the Top 10 lists of overlanders. If you happen to drive through Hungary as part of your London to Singapore adventure though, what are the routes and places to visit that can’t be missed in this country? Perhaps it takes a bit more research, but in Hungary you can still find amazing places that make overlanding as a travel and lifestyle so appealing. Due to Hungary’s turbulent, 1000-year long history, there are numerous places in the country that are not only beautiful but also provide some interesting historical facts and anecdotes. When choosing a destination in this country, for a full experience it’s always good to pay attention to these historical places and plan accordingly, even if you don’t spend too much time here.

Budapest If you travel to Hungary, Budapest simply cannot be missed, regardless of your travel style. Whether you’re an overlander or a regular traveler, Budapest is a must-see destination. The city has a huge significance in the country from many perspectives. It’s the center of the economy, the culture, and the history. It attracts more tourists than any other part of the country. Overlanders can choose the Niche Camping of Zugliget on the western edge, or the Camping Arena on the opposite side of the city. Both are excellent campsites and great starting points to discover what Budapest has to offer.
