Gyöngyös
This walkable Hungarian town at the foot of the Mátra range — the highest mountains in the country — Gyöngyös has a centre with a real café and restaurant scene and sits beside its namesake creek. Two narrow-gauge forest railways run from the town up into the mountains, making it a practical base for exploring the highlands. The wider Heves County region lies within reach of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
