As a Romanian, my general perception about the country and its looks is not that good (excepting, of course, outdoors which I find just amazing).

To Bupdapest we’ve been before, more than once. And yes, it’s a proper country capital city in all aspects – history, culture, nightlife, cuisine. But this time, during our 4 days road trip in Hungary, we decided to leave Budapest behind and see what the smaller towns of the country have to offer.
