The Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring just outside Budapest has been a fixture on the Formula 1 calendar since 1986, delivering close racing and a fantastic mid-summer atmosphere every July. Budapest itself is one of Europe's most beautiful and affordable cities — the race is the excuse, the city is the experience.
Budapest is one of Europe's great cities — arrive early and stay late. The Hungaroring is 20km from the city center. Thermal baths are a must.
