There is an underlying threat from terrorism in Hungary. Attacks, although unlikely, could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers.
In late 2006 and early 2007, there were a series of political demonstrations against the Government in Budapest and elsewhere in the country. There were some cases where generally peaceful demonstrations ended in violence as a result of the actions of a small minority of protesters. There have been no violent incidents since then, but as a precaution, visitors should avoid all political demonstrations.
In January 2007, Hungarian authorities confirmed the existence of the H5N1 (Avian Influenza) virus strain in five dead geese in south-east Hungary. No human deaths or infections have been reported. The Hungarian authorities have announced that strict biosecurity measures are being enforced in accordance with EU legislation.

Health CareThe European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles European travelers to free or reduced cost medical care, at state-run facilities, in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. It does not cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is advised.
