**Hungary Named as One of the Top 10 “Destinations to Watch” for UK Holidaymakers**

The travel trade organisation Abta has highlighted Hungary as one of the top 10 “destinations to watch” for UK holidaymakers, citing its beautiful countryside, delicious food and wine, and stunning attractions at prices that “won’t break the bank”. The announcement comes as the travel industry prepares for “Sunshine Saturday” – traditionally one of the busiest days of the year for holiday bookings, falling on the first Saturday in January.

According to Abta, nearly half of UK holidaymakers are looking to try somewhere new this year, and Hungary is an excellent option. The country’s capital city, Budapest, is described as “one of the world’s greatest cities”, boasting remarkable architectural heritage along the River Danube, including a stunning art nouveau building situated at one end of the iconic Chain Bridge. Visitors can also experience traditional Hungarian wellness culture by visiting one of the many “truly stunning” spas and bath houses.

Beyond the capital, Hungary offers diverse experiences for adventurous travellers. Visitors can explore hiking trails through forests near Lake Balaton, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, or visit local wineries in the region around the city of Tokaj to sample Hungarian vintages. Abta director of communications Graeme Buck said: “We have deliberately not chosen the most popular or fastest growing destinations, but instead aimed to inspire with some fantastic places, which may not currently be top of mind.”

Hungary joins other notable destinations on Abta’s list, including Japan’s Hokkaido island, Italy’s Le Marche region, and Spain’s Oviedo. The country’s unique blend of culture, history, and natural beauty makes it an attractive option for British tourists seeking both cultural experiences and relaxation.
