Palinka
The popularity of Hungary's national drink, pálinka, soared when its definition was precisely established: only beverages with 100% fruit content, no additives, prepared in Hungary, and with an alcohol content of at least 37.5% could be labeled as 'pálinka'. According to conservative estimates, over 50% of the Hungarian adult population enjoys pálinka daily. Moreover, the majority of adults believe that a moderate amount of pálinka is beneficial for health.Two Hungarian wines

Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
