Hungary becomes a popular destination. Since the resumption of flights from Israel, Hungary has become a particularly popular and accessible destination for Israeli travelers.
Four Israeli airlines - El-Al, Israir, Arkia Airlines, and Blue Bird – together offer 33 weekly flights to Budapest, and soon Wizz Air will join them, resuming operations from August 8.
Hungary, located just about a three-hour flight away, offers a diverse summer - from the bustling city of Budapest with hot springs, markets, and family activities, to the beaches of Lake Balaton and the festivals surrounding it.
The upcoming summer brings a wide range of events, including:
Guns N’ Roses Concert on July 15, Puskás Aréna, Budapest - A one-time performance by the legendary rock band.
