Central Hungary consists of only one county, Pest County. Budapest, the capital of the country, is the administrative center of the county, but constitutes a separate territorial unit.
With green filled parks, interesting museums, and a pulsating nightlife, Budapest is one of Europe's most delightful and enjoyable cities.

Budapest is the hub for almost all public transport lines. This means you sometimes must go first to Budapest and then back out to your destination, even that means a much longer journey.
