Hungarian Money
Hungary is a member of the European Union, but they have not started with the Euro yet. Many places you can still pay with Euro, but expect to receive forints back. If you do pay with Euros the shops normally give you little for your Euro, so you would do better to go change your Euros, and then go back into the shop and pay with forints (for example in McDonalds).

Eger
The city of Eger, with its one thousand-year history, heroic past, rich monuments, famous wines and thermal baths is one of the most famous towns of Hungary. Eger is usually considered to be a historic town, yet it is also noted for its splendid Baroque architecture, wine, thermal and medicinal waters and lively student population. It became an episcopal seat as early as the 1th century, during the reign of St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary. Disaster struck the town many times: it was practically destroyed during the invasion of the Tatars, but its fortress, built in the 13th century, played a major role in defence during the wars of the Turkish era. Captain István Dobó and a handful of his soldiers withstood the attack of the Turkish army 40 times superior in force to his 2000 defenders for 38 days in 1552, and eventually forced the Turks to withdraw.

Siofok
Siofok Hungary is set on the southern shore of Lake Balaton and boasts a beach more than ten miles long. It’s the largest town on Hungary’s largest lake and has the greatest beach area. As such, it is one of the most fashionable resorts in the country, drawing tourists from nearby Budapest and all over Hungary. The lake is quite shallow with an average depth only ten feet so a Siofok holiday is quite attractive to families with young children. Such shallow water also means invitingly warm water temperatures (about 80 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer. Foreign visitors also travel to Siofok from the rest of Europe, the U.K., and increasingly from the United States.
