Visiting Hungary in the shoulder season, the months of April through to June and September to October, are wonderful thanks to the stunning spring weather and the unmissable grape harvest festivals in autumn.

However, long days, glorious weather and countless festivals make Hungary the perfect summer destination, even if prices are a touch higher.

In the winter, Hungary can be a bit bleak to be perfectly honest, but the countless cultural attractions mean that even in the depths of the dark months, there is still tonnes to enjoy.
