Our Hungary Ltd is an internationally oriented, dynamic firm based in London with aspirations to develop the tourism potential of Hungary since its accession to the European Union in 2004.
 
Elvira Kistamás's vision is to introduce tourists to the wealth of cultural experiences that have come from Hungary's glorious history during the Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as the rapidly developing contemporary scene. This must be through excellent and reputable customer service.
 
Dining out in Budapest and throughout Hungary is an enormous pleasure with famous dishes, fine wines, beers and spirits. The distinctive and hearty fare of times past is joined with modern introductions for all tastes and cultures including cosmopolitan tastes and organic, vegetarian cuisine.

Budapest is well served by airlines, rail and river with tour buses, trams and three underground lines. The currency is at present the Hungarian forint but membership of the European Union ensures that the Euro will gradually be introduced as the economies of Europe are harmonised. Business is conducted on a fair and open basis, with good service rewarded with a normal gratuity. Small rural businesses and crafts goods and market stalls display the prices, it is not customary to barter as the rural economy is only newly developing from decades of communal management.

The cities and the countryside are generally litter free. The future of Hungary is with ecotourism, where activities harmonise with
 

the landscape and the natural resources. For equestrian pursuits travel to Bugac Puszta which is part of the Kiskunsági National Park with village style accommodation, a protected environment for equestrian pursuits and commercial angling lakes. Regional cuisine can be found in a traditional Puszta restaurant - the Csárda.
The expanses of the flat landscape contrast with the mountainous regions and display a wide variety of plants and animals which are protected and preserved.
 
Hungary has had the wisdom to collect excellent folk buildings of the country and to relocate then in the Open-Air Ethnographic Museum, or Skanzen. It is the largest such collection in Hungary with 340 buildings relocated from around ten regions. Folk handicrafts are displayed.
 
Another idyllic setting is Hollókö which is a Unesco protected heritage site. It is a living museum with a Post House, Weaving House and Village Museum. Visitors may stay in several of the houses. Of course tourists should also respect the privacy of others when taking photographs.
 
Now that Hungary is once again a full-blooded European partner it is a place to travel with much to see that has been hidden from view over the last half century. The tourist industry will enlarge the economy and prospects of the country as you buy our local products and services.
