Regions
Officially, Hungary contains 19 departments (Hungarian megyéi) or 7 regions (Hungarian region), to be added to the capital.
From the tourist point of view it is simpler to consider the following list:
| Central Hungary The most visited region, containing the capital Budapest, the ancient capital Esztergom and the northern valley of the Danube. |
| Lake Balaton The region of the Lake Balaton, much loved by the Hungarians for bathing and sunbathing. |
| Transdanubia The name "Transdanubia" (Hungarian Dunantul) targets the country west of the Danube (except around Lake Balaton and the part included in Central Hungary). |
| Northern Hungary In northern Hungary there are many hills, vineyards (producing famous wines) and historic towns. |
| Eastern Hungarian Plain La post (Hungarian puszta) is flat steppe, i.e. dry meadow without trees. To the east of the Danube such is the usual appearance of the Hungarian Plain. |

The Schengen Treaty has been in force in the state since 21 December 2007 (at airport border crossings since 30 March 2008). Thus the border controls within the European Union are abolished and citizens of the union for travel to Hungary need only a personal card, neither a passport nor a visa.
