You can board a flight to Hungary on a passport from Estonia with no visa. The officer on arrival sets how long you may stay. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.

Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a Hungary visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.
If you are travelling on a different passport, Hungary's official entry rules are at home-affairs.ec.europa.eu.

What Hungary asks for
- Passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure, issued within the last 10 years, with two blank pages
- Completed and signed Schengen visa application form
- One recent photograph to the published specification
- Medical insurance covering emergency medical care, hospitalisation and repatriation

- Proof of funds for the length of the stay
- Evidence of your employment, studies or business
Worth knowing
- One Schengen visa covers all 29 member states. You do not need, and cannot buy, a separate visa for each country.
- Medical insurance is a legal condition of the visa, not an optional extra. It must cover emergency care, hospitalisation and repatriation.
- Consulates charge the same €90 wherever you apply. Where a consulate uses an external centre such as VFS or TLS, that centre's service charge is separate and is not the visa fee.
- Ireland is not in the Schengen area, and neither is the United Kingdom. A Schengen visa does not cover either.
How long it takes
Apply no earlier than 6 months before you travel, and at least 15 days before you go.
