General presentation
Lac Balaton
Large Hungarian lake of resort, between Tihany peninsula, beaches, volcanic vineyards, thermal towns and shore villages.
To understand what Lake Balaton is, look at Tihany, Balatonfüred and Badacsony. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by the shores and lakes, the countryside, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: very seasonal in summer and less central swimming off season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Presqu'île and Abbey
Tihany
Tihany focus the strongest image of Balaton, with abbey, lavender, low houses and views of the lake. The peninsula gives a good first reading of the landscape, between shore, hills and villages.

Lake station
Balatonfüred
Balatonfüred offers the most classic version of the resort in Balaton, with a walk, villas, port and cafes. It is a convenient base for combining boat, swimming and excursions to Tihany.

Volcanic vineyard
Badacsony
Badacsony Adds to the Balaton a recognizable volcanic relief, between vineyards, cellars and wide views of the water. The area discovers well at the end of the day, when the light extends the lines of the north shore.
