A Hungary Schengen visa is a special kind of visa which allows you to travel among all the Schengen countries including Hungary for a maximum period of upto 90 days. This is a traveller’s dream where with one visa you can travel to any of the other 25 Schengen countries along with Hungary.
A Schengen Visa (issued by a consulate or embassy of a Schengen State) is valid for all 26 States of the Schengen Area (including the European territory of Hungary), unless it is marked otherwise on the visa sticker. So you do not need another visa to enter or stay in the European territory of Hungary. However, you must be in possession of documentary evidence for the reasons of your stay and your means of support. Schengen Area comprises of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
The Schengen Visa is a short stay visa and takes the form of a sticker affixed to your passport. The definition of “short stay” is a stay of "90 days in any 180 days period". This means that the total duration of stay is of maximum 90 days in any period of 180 days. The precise length of validity of your Schengen Visa is indicated on the visa sticker under the heading “Duration of visit”. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker under the heading "Number of entries" by "1". A two-entry or a multiple-entry visa allows for two or several entries during the validity of the Schengen Visa. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "02" or "MULT" under the heading "Number of entries".
No, not necessarily all Schengen Visas will be granted for 90 days. You may get the Schengen Visa only for the number of days that you present in your travel itinerary and your flight & hotel bookings
You are free to apply again for a Schengen Visa if your application has been refused earlier. The Schengen Visa cover letter is a letter which summarizes your intent to travel to a country that is part of the Schengen area. In your cover letter you should explain: • the purpose of your trip • when and where you intend to travel • how your trip is going to be funded • day-by-day itinerary for your trip • duration of the trip
Typically, a Hungary Visa (Schengen Visa) takes anywhere from 10 to 15 days to process in the Hungary Embassy/Consulate. The processing time for a Hungary Visa is dependent on several factors and can change without notice at the consulate's discretion.

When you first set eyes on spectacular Buda Castle (Budavári Palota) in Budapest, you'll appreciate why so many people consider the city the "Paris of the East." This spectacular historic landmark-now a UNESCO World Heritage Site-ranks right up there with Versailles in terms of its majestic proportions and wonderful design.
Dominating the attractive skyline of one of the oldest of Hungarian towns, the spectacular edifice that is Esztergom Basilica (Esztergomi bazilika) is well worth the 46-kilometer journey from Budapest. Set overlooking the Danube River on Castle Hill, this impressive Catholic church-officially called the Primatial Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary Assumed Into Heaven and St. Adalbert-was built in 1507 and is not only the country's biggest religious structure, it's also the tallest, with its huge dome stretching 100 meters into the air.
If you're looking for a vacation that combines some down time with a rich cultural experience, Hungary certainly delivers. There are many historic spa towns and facilities throughout the country offering everything from simple bathing in regenerative waters to longer stays in lovely spa resorts.
Dominating the northwest corner of the fortified Old Town of Pecs lies Sts. Peter and Paul's Cathedral Basilica (Szent Péter és Szent Pál székesegyház), most often referred to simply as Pecs Cathedral. Built on the site of an ancient Roman burial chapel, the cathedral, like so many historic attractions in Hungary, shows influences from many different cultures. Founded in 1009, the original church lasted well into the 12th century, was rebuilt, and then suffered even more damage due to Mongol attacks.
Sopron, just 64 kilometers south of Vienna and eight kilometers from the Austrian border near the eastern foothills of the Alps, is a popular destination for day trippers. Its allure stems as much from its attractive surroundings as from its many well-preserved medieval and Baroque buildings. Sopron's 240 protected buildings, 115 of which are officially-listed monuments, comprise one of the largest such collections in Europe.
The Buda Hills, on the western outskirts of Budapest, rise to heights of more than 518 meters and are crisscrossed by an extensive network of trails, perfect for walking or biking.
Lillafüred in the Bükk Mountains is another very popular spa destination in Hungary. It's also famous for its many spectacular caves, all within an easy walk of the town. Some of the most interesting to explore are the István Cave with its fantastic stalactite formations, and the Petofi Cave, famous the world over for the impressions of extinct plant species left in its limestone walls.
The beautiful Danube River flows through Hungary from north to south, and as it passes through Budapest, it splits the city in two. One of the best sunset views of the river and of both Buda and Pest is from the Freedom Bridge, a favorite spot for locals.
