See the Hungarian Sea: Lake Balaton
Overview
Spend the day in the lovely landscapes of Central Europe’s largest freshwater lake on a full-day tour of Lake Balaton.
Depart from Budapest and travel by air-conditioned bus to the beautiful town of Balatonfüred. Located on the north coast of Lake Balaton, the town is famously referred to as the capital city of the lake.
You can experience an overview of city first by taking a short trip by “nostalgia train” around the area as well as a 1-hour cruise on Lake Balaton.
Afterwards, you will have some free time to take a stroll along the picturesque promenade and enjoy some lunch (not included).
Later on, drive to the “Tihany Peninsula” to see why it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is rich with architecture and vineyards that produce excellent quality wine. Get a unique view of Lake Balaton from the hilltop before going to the Abbey of Tihany, founded in 1055.
Transfer back to Budapest by air-conditioned bus, the tour ends at Hotel Intercontinental Budapest.
