Mohacs – home to over 500 years of history, including one of the most important battles in the history of central Europe.
Esztergom – home to the Basilica of Esztergom, which is the country's largest religious building and a hallmark in classical architecture.
Puszta – these expansive grasslands were like the "wild west" of Hungary during the 19th century.
