Hungary Short Stay Schengen Visa
If you are headed to Hungary for a short stay of up to 90 days, you might need to get a Short Stay Visa (i.e. Schengen Visa Type C) depending on what country you are from. In general, with the Schengen Visa, you are free to roam the Schengen Territory as you wish.
Most people who get the Short Stay Visa for Hungary are going there for tourism or business.
