What to expect
A great journey through Hungary
I have prepared a route for you that combines amazing landscapes, exquisite architecture, and the charm of small towns. The excursion program includes:
- Biothermal Lake Heviz - you can bathe in it at any time of the year. In winter, the water temperature in the lake is around 25 degrees, and in summer - up to 36 degrees.
- Palace of Count Festetics - built in the mid-18th century in the French manner, it will be remembered for its magnificent facade and the luxury of its interior decoration. We will enjoy the adjacent ancient park and optionally visit the palace exhibition with original furnishings and Europe's most beautiful private library.
- Peninsula and town of Tihany - we will walk along the paved winding streets and admire the charming houses made of volcanic tuff. We will inhale the scent of lavender typical of this region, unravel the secret of the Tihany echo, and examine local crafts. We will also climb to the observation platform of the medieval abbey with magnificent views.
- Balatonfured - the most popular resort on Lake Balaton, famous for its picturesque views of the lake and a respectable atmosphere.
