Let us mention just a few reasons why you would choose Hungary for your event:

• Although Hungary is not an unknown place in the world, it is a new destination yet to be discovered for many. No-one would deny that it is crucial to be familiar with a location before selecting it, in order to entice delegates to an event...

• The cost-to-value ratio is extremely favourable in Hungary. In general, the quality of services is excellent and prices are still lower than in most European countries.

• Budapest is a magical place, enchanting by the river Danube which divides the city into two with the hills and mountains in Buda and the array of hotels and the commercial district on the Pest side. An air of history, the pleasant climate, festivals and cultural events prove that the city is indeed the Pearl of the Danube. Several convention centers, catering for up to 2,000 delegates are located in pleasant surroundings, together with 5,000 first class and luxury hotel rooms all are at the guests’ disposal.

• Living memories of the past come to life as major historical monuments in Budapest can be used as special venues to stage banqueting events and social programmes. The fairy-tale Vajdahunyad Castle, the Museum of Fine Arts or even the Parliament can be rented for memorable occasions.
