Hungary

Since gaining its independence more than a decade ago, the country has emerged not only an economic power but also as one of the world’s top tourist destinations. Budapest serves as Hungary’s cultural and economic hub; the whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beautiful castles, abundant wine regions, and over 1,000 thermal springs are just a few of the surprising benefits to teaching English in Hungary.
