Unfortunately, we don't have much English information about Hungary, but we have more information in other languages German, French, Italian, Spanish. Here is the automatic translation by Google:

Hungary is protected by its location in the Carpathian Basin in extreme continental weather. The wind is mostly weak, there is little rainfall. Summers are warm to hot and winters are cold and clear. Messy weather is rare. The Balaton holds over 2000 hours of sunshine a year, even a leading position in Central Europe.

Wikipedia says:


Hungary (Magyarország; mɒɟɒrorsaːɡ;), officially in English the Republic of Hungary (Magyar Köztársaság literally Magyar (Hungarian) Republic), is a landlocked country in the Carpathian Basin of Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Its capital is Budapest. Hungary is an OECD, NATO, EU and Schengen member. The mother-tongue is Hungarian, part of the Finno-Ugric family, thus is one of two official languages of the European Union that is not of Indo-European origin.
Following a Celtic (after c. 450 BC) and a Roman (9 BC - c. 4th century) period, the foundation of Hungary was laid in the late Ninth Century by the Magyar chieftain Árpád, whose great grandson István ascended to the throne with a crown sent from Rome in 1000. The Kingdom of Hungary existed with minor interruptions for more than 900 years, and at various points was regarded as one of the cultural centers of Europe. It was succeeded by a Communist era (1945-1989) during which Hungary gained widespread international attention regarding the Revolution of 1956 and the seminal move of opening its border with Austria in 1989, thus accelerating the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. The present form of government is Parliamentary Republic (1989-). Hungary's current goal is to become a developed country by IMF standards, having became already developed by most traditional measures, including GDP and HDI (world ranking 36th and rising). The country's first ever term of EU presidency is due in 2011. (...) more....

costs & money

Unfortunately, we don't have much English information about Hungary, but we have more information in other languages German, French, Italian, Spanish. Here is the automatic translation by Google:

The means of payment in Hungary is the forint (HUF, Ft.). Despite the significant price increases each year, Hungary is still a relatively cheap destination. The price differential between Budapest and the main tourist region of Lake Balaton on one side and the less touristy areas on the other side is considerable. Service Fee: restaurants (snack bars) may not be a service fee of up to 15 percent raise. Of these, 81 percent invested in the pension fund, the rest will be distributed to the staff.
