It is, however, one of the loveliest small towns in Hungary, or as they say in Italian, a laughing little town. 35 kilometres from Budapest, it has escaped unscathed all the ravages of the sixties and seventies, preserved like a fly in amber so that it looks today much as it must have in the eighteenth ...
