Hungary

Hungary is a Central European country whose capital Budapest is one of the continent's great cities, split by the Danube into Buda's castle-crowned hills and Pest's grand boulevards, thermal baths, and ruin bar culture. The food tradition is rich and hearty, the folk arts are among the most distinctive in Europe, and the Hungarian language and culture are unlike anything around them. Those who enjoy architecture, food, and a city that rewards walking in every direction will love it.

Invented the Rubik's Cube, ballpoint pen, and holography.
Has more thermal springs than any European country except Iceland.
Highest cancer mortality rate in the EU — a public health crisis rarely discussed.
