OFFICIAL INVITATIONPRELIMINARY PROGRAM

MESSAGE We are looking forward to organize the European U-16, U-21 and Adults Open Championships 2018 in

Budapest.

It has been a long time since Hungary hosted the last European Championship and I hope that the whole European family feels great to return to Hungary to participate at the top European Karate annual event.

I want to take this opportunity to recognize the work developed by the Hungarian Shinkyokushin during the last years.

It has been always an active and a loyal member not only from the European Karate organization but also from the World Karate organization and I would like to emphasize the enthusiasm of the organizer committee, who could always achieve successful events with a positive atmosphere.

With members like Hungary, it is easy to understand the outstanding progress experienced by the EKO along the last years.

The allocation of this big Karate event to Hungary is something well deserved by the Hungarian Shinkyokushin and I can say, without any doubt, that the upcoming Youth and Adults European Cham-pionships are going to be a new sport success of our continent, and also a new success of the EKO thanks to the inestimable contribution of the outstanding members of the Hungarian Shinkyokushin.

I wish a successful preparation and a good tournament for every participant!

Dr. Laszlo Garamvolgyi Police Brigadier General

Patron of the European Championships

HOW TO GET TO HUNGARY

Hungary lies at the crossroads of the main tourist traffic flows in Europe. About 70 airline companies operate regular flights to and from Budapest Liszt Ferenc-Ferihegy-International Airport.Railway con-nections from all European countries are excellent, while there are also bus and boat connections with countries in the vicinity of Hungary. Budapest can be reached by car on motorways M1, M3, M5, M7.

.BUDAPEST AIRPORT

Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was opened in 1950. It was though only given the name Budapest Liszt Ferenc Airport in 2011, and until then it was titled Budapest Ferihegy International Airport. The first terminal which was built back in 1950 was reopened in 2005, and has since then worked as the airport for the low-budget airlines flying to Budapest.

Budapest Airport Terminal 2A was opened in 1985 and later in 1998 Budapest Airport Terminal 2B was added to the construction. Terminal 2A and 2B are the terminals where the more “expensive” companies fly, for example Lufthansa, SAS, Delta Airlines, Air France and other companies use this airport for their flights.

In 2011 the Sky Court was opened working as a passage between Terminal 2A and Terminal 2B. Here visitors can find shops, restaurants and places to spend time and money before departure. The Sky Court is only available after check-in, so without a boarding pass you will not be able to enjoy the services within the Sky Court.



HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE

As a foreigner in Hungary you should not expect to understand much of the Hungarian language. It is a Uralic language in the Ugric language group, distantly related to Finnish, Estonian and a number of other minority languages. Most people dropping by Hungary learn a couple of words only, while those living here often end up with only a little knowledge, if they do not invest energy and time in learning the language. If you do invest time, the language is not at all impossible, even though it is by some people ranked as the second, third and fourth hardest language in the world!

Some important Hungarian words:

Yes – igenNo – nem

Cheers – egészségedre (egesjegeddre)How are you? – hogy vagy? (hodjvadj)

I am …. – Én ….. vagyok (een ….. vadjok)

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

The public transportation network in Budapest is well developed, and will bring you almost wherever you want to. The same tickets are to be used everywhere, and if you buy one day tickets, three day tickets or similar you can use them on all the vehicles in Budapest. You can also buy a tourist card which will give you free use of the public transportation, free or discounted entry to 60 museums and to several sights, reduced price tickets for cultural and folklore programmes, discounts in restaurants and spas and some other advantages as well. This is only recommended if you plan to visit lots of museums and tourist places.

With the travel cards/passes you can travel unlimitedly with trams, buses and with the metro in Budapest. You can also buy single tickets (350 HUF).



METRO MAP

There are three metro lines in Budapest. The yellow is the oldest one, which in fact is the second oldest subway/metro line in Europe. The Red is just renewed, the Blue is partly under reconstruction. As you read about different hotels and sights, you will be informed to what stop they are close.

VISA/ VISUM

Hungary joined the European Union in 2004, so citizens of the EU and EEA member states do not have to require a visa. The only documentation they require is either their passport or their identity card.

Schengen Agreement

Hungary is a signatory of the Schengen Agreement. Therefore, a visa for Hungary entitles you to travel within the whole Schengen area. This way you do not need to apply for a separate visa to enter Schengen Treaty member states. The opposite is true as well: a ’Schengen visa’ is valid for entry to Hungary.

Non EU/EEA citizens

Citizens of Non-EU/EEA countries (those who are required to get a visa) can apply for various types of visas. The visa type you should apply for depends on the purpose and the duration of your stay. It is very important to apply for the correct type of visa, because you cannot change your status in Hungary after entry. To do this you will normally have to leave the country, apply for the correct type of visa and then return to Hungary once it has been granted.

CURRENCY IN HUNGARYHungarian forint (HUF) is the official currency in Hungary. First of all, Hungary is a member of the European Union, but they have not started with the Euro yet.

BARGAINING AND GIVING TIPS

It is quite normal in Hungarian to tip in restaurants, but it is also normal to tip guides, hairdressers and taxi drivers. It is not normal to bargain as you shop, except from in the Big Market Hall and in open air markets.



INTRODUCTION OF HUNGARY

The Republic of Hungary is situated in Central Eastern Europe. The country covers an area of 93,036 km2 and it has roughly 10 million inhabitants, who speak a unique language which is not used anywhere else in the world. In the year 2000 the nation celebrated the thousandth anniversary of the foundation of the Hungarian State. Since the reign of state-founder King Saint Stephan, Hungary has gone through golden ages as well as repeated trials, but has survived despite its stormy history. Today, Hungary, a member of the EU is one of the most popular destinations of visitors who wish to encounter this beautiful country with natural, historical, cultural and gastronomic attractions.



Hungary is a country rich in culture and history, its towns and cities virtually living, breathing works of art, its people quintessentially European - intellectual, hardworking and hospitable. A small country, brimming with culture and natural beauty, Hungary is endowed with two-thousand-year-old Roman remains, four-hundred-year-old Turkish period monuments, beautiful Romanesque churches, examples of neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture and imposing castles.

Lovers of nature and the great outdoors will relish exploring Europe's largest freshwater lake, Lake Balaton, or many conservation areas, each concealing a wonderful protected world. Outdoor activities such as horse riding and water related pursuits are popular here. The country has one of the finest folk traditions in Europe, producing excellent examples of embroidery, pottery, murals and objects carved from wood or bone. Its musical contributions are just as rich and range from the rhapsodies of Franz Liszt and the operas of Ferenc Erkel to gypsy and folk music. Hungary is also popular among visitors seeking rest and rejuvenation. In this country there is a wealth of natural healing spring waters with spa facilities for visitors to choose from. It is a country of diversity, full of sights and experiences that will impress astonish and above all please its visitors.



INTRODUCTION OF BUDAPEST

The capital of Hungary, known as the "Pearl of the Danube", is undoubtedly one of the most beautifully located cities in the world. The river Danube runs through the middle of the metropolis of two million, dividing hilly Buda with its narrow cobbled streets and mixture of medieval and neo-classical buildings from the Pest plain with its wide avenues and boulevards. Because of the picturesque panorama offered by the river and its bridges, the Parliament, the imposing Royal Castle, Fishermen's Bastion and the impressive Danube Embankment, UNESCO placed this site on the World Heritage list.

The guests will find side by side the remains of fortresses and buildings from Roman times, still operating Turkish baths, Gothic and Baroque buildings, and the incredibly rich Art Novae architectural heritage. There is no other capital city in the world with close to 100 thermal springs and 12 medicinal baths within its boundaries, where 19 million gallons of thermal water rise to the surface every day.

It is a city where the pleasing harmony of different architectural styles and superb structures, the cafés, gastronomy and culture are combined with legendary hospitality and blend into an unforgettable experience for visitors.
