'''Hungary''' is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]]. Hitchhiking usually (but not without exceptions) is relatively easy in Hungary, especially in rural areas where people are more friendly and helpful. There, even on the roads with almost no traffic you can get a ride in a reasonable time. You can drink Tapwatertapwater.

It is much more difficultIn Hungary fewer people speak foreign languages than in other Central European countries. In cities, thus gossips, to meet often one can speak English with younger people speaking German or English. Try to learn basic hungarian, which, contrary to all the slavic languages is astonishly easy, because of no genders, no declinations! Once you get to rural areas, thoughhowever, expect to experience a language barrier. A Hungarian phrasebook may be useful.
