Heh, the fellas on >>>/ausneets/ asked just the same thing after that video aired. Well, one fella.
I watched it and gave opinion, but that was several threads ago, and won't try to dig it out.
So here's something similar.
He gets things mostly right. Tourists are getting scammed, politics and healthcare is horrible, but food is great (from traditional chow to foreign stuff). Unicum is okay, I'm not a fan, but it's unique for sure.
The country is indeed divided but the rest of the country has things to offer, not just Budapest. Even the smallest villages has now at least 1 thing to stare at for an hour. Yeah won't keep you entertained for a week for sure. But depending on what you are look for it might worth to travel around. My suggestion would be to get a place to sleep, at larger town as a hub for the adventures, and visit nearby places. This plan has the caveat that one needs to know the area, or learn about it beforehand, or have a local with advice or something. Probably car is better than public transport roads might be shitawful tho.
Two good reasons would be for doing so:
1. food, try local variations of a certain dish; for example the home of the fisherman's soup is in the southern part of the country, even has two main significant branch of it in two towns
2. booze, and chiefly I mean wine, Hungary has many wine regions with their local micro-climates and grape/wine types
Beyond this there could be buildings (such as castles), baths (Hungary is full of hot springs and baths built upon 'em), and nature (national parks with unique wildlife), and occasionally happenings (festivals or sporting events).
Major drawback for a foreigner: noone knows English. And this one is not told by Geopold.
