Reasons to visit the Balaton

Enchanting landscape. The famous nineteenth-century Hungarian writer Mor Jokay wrote about the Balaton: “The longer one views this land, the prettier it seems, and laugh if you will, but I say the entire landscape is smiling”.

Silky water. The Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in Central Europe. The pleasant warmth of water soothes both body and spirit. The water warms quickly to 20 to 22 degrees, and occasionally reaches even 28 degrees. The southern shore is favoured by families with children.

Siofok. One of the centers of the region, Siofok offers a colorful, rich variety of discos, but lovers of light opera have also come to the right place, as it was the birthplace of Imre Kálmán, composer of The Csardas Queen. A two-month light opera festival is held every summer in his memory.

Active recreation and sport. Of the numerous cross-lake competitions, the swim across the Balaton has grown to become one of Europe’s largest amateur swimming events. Sailing and windsurfing is permitted anywhere, and wake-boarding is possible at a number of points on the lake.

Curative waters. This lake, covered with India red water lilies, is the world’s second-largest thermal lake, with a depth of 36 meters at the crater. The curative water and mud from the lake is excellent for the treatment of motor ailments.

Keszthely - the cultural capital of Balaton. It’s the oldest settlement on the Balaton shore. Everything worth knowing about the Balaton can be found collected at the Balaton Museum.

Treasure peninsula Tihany. Of the Benedictine Abbey founded in Tihany in 1055, the only remains today are the crypt housing the tomb of King Andrew I and the founding charter of the abbey, the earliest surviving document in the Hungarian language.

Wines. Five of Hungary’s 22 wine regions are located around the Balaton.

Wide variety of activities. The number of horse shows, folklore programmes, harvest festivals, exhibitions and concerts is beyond counting, a full listing of everything would be impossible.
