Hungary Grand Loop Self-Drive
A clockwise road trip around the country, connecting the capital, eastern wine regions, the Great Plain, historic southern cities, and Lake Balaton.
Cover the main regions of Hungary over two weeks. Except for the capital, you will stay only one or two nights in most places, meaning frequent hotel changes. This route completely avoids transferring back through the capital: head south through the Great Plain after the east, pass through Szeged, head north from Pécs to Lake Balaton, and finish at Pannonhalma Archabbey and Győr. Perfect for travelers with plenty of time who love driving; Sopron is omitted to maintain a manageable pace.
Not recommended for winter, as daylight hours are short and activities in the Great Plain and wine regions are limited.
