Incredible architecture, great food, and fantastic thermal spas await. Hungary offers many diverse destinations: relatively low mountains in the north-west, the Great Plain in the east, lakes and rivers of all sorts, and many beautiful small villages and hidden gems of cities. Top this off with Hungary’s great accessibility in the middle of Europe, a vivid culture and economy, and you get a destination absolutely worth visiting.

Just under an hour from Budapest, the late-19th-century Schossberger Castle, once neglected, has been restored to its original neoclassical and neo-baroque splendor and transformed into a contemporary luxury boutique hotel: Botaniq Castle of Tura. Some rooms are smallish, as is the norm in historic structures, but they’re comfortable all the same; others spread out to generous sizes and occasionally add private terraces. There’s a spa whose treatments are inspired by the castle’s own gardens, and the restaurants include the fine-dining Clarisse, the breakfast-only Palmhouse, and the stylish and impressively well-supplied Botaniq Bar.
