About Balaton

The many faces of Lake Balaton’s magic

Lake Balaton welcomes visitors with unparalleled experiences all year round. The gently rolling panorama and the charming lakeside towns both contribute to its magic. Whether you’re seeking active adventures or peaceful relaxation, you’ll find the perfect programme here.

Hungary’s largest lake is not only a paradise for beach lovers but also a treasure trove for nature enthusiasts and hikers. Thrill-seekers can enjoy cave tours, horseback riding, SUP, and even winter ice rinks. Exploring the picturesque buttes, viewpoints, and arboretums promises unforgettable moments. Cycling enthusiasts will feel right at home: the well-established bike routes around the lake offer an unforgettable ride. Riding around the lake is on every Hungarian cyclist’s bucket list.

Medieval castles, grand estates, and charming villages take you back in time, while contemporary exhibitions and festivals bring the region to life. Local wines, fresh fish dishes, and farmers’ markets promise a true gastronomic adventure. And we have a common Hungarian secret: almost all of us have been or will be in love on the shores of the Hungarian sea.
