Baradla Cave, Aggtelek

A cave system stretching 25 km under the Hungarian-Slovak border, part of the Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guided tours of varying lengths lead past huge stalagmites, including the 'Giant' column, and through a great hall where concerts are held for the acoustics.

The short tour takes about an hour; longer adventure tours are possible with booking. It's about 10°C inside. Aggtelek is in north-eastern Hungary, about 3 hours from Budapest.
