Below we have compiled a guide with everything you need to know about travelling to Hungary during these uncertain times, which countries can visit, entry requirements, and any other rules for Hungary you need to know about.

Which countries can travel to Hungary?

Hungary has developed a color-coded entry system which they state is based on risk assessment, but must be based on other unknown factors, as some low-risk countries have been denied entry, while other extremely high-risk countries have been granted entry with restrictions.
