Detailed itinerary
1
A nice visit to the Herend factory, where you will be amazed at the skill and craftsmanship of the potters, model makers, painters and in particular the master painters. In this day and age of mass production where the majority of manufacturing processes is done by machine it is nice to see the traditional methods of hand made production maintained at Herend.
2
The place with the greatest historical significance on Lake Balaton is Tihany, a peninsula jutting 5km into the lake. Tihany village, perched on an 80m-high plateau along the peninsula’s eastern coast, is home to the celebrated Abbey Church.
3
Balatonfüred is one of the oldest tourist destinations on the shore of the “Hungarian Sea”. The “capital” of the northern coast is famous for its carbon-acid thermal spring, marina, and limitless range of recreation activities.
