Detailed itinerary

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.

You will have time to walk along the picturesque promenade and to do some shopping, or to swim in the lake.

Tihany is a peninsula reaching into the lake, which provides an amazing view to the whole Balaton region. Here, you will visit the most important sights of the city, like the Tihany Abbey. Walk inside the building and enjoy the beauty of its frescoes and wonderful interior. The natural sights in the area are just as beautiful as the artificial ones. Stop for a few minutes to admire the unforgettable views from the shore and take a look into the Balaton Highlands National Park.

Throughout your journey you will visit little known boutique vineyards as well as a prestigious winery, north of Lake Balaton with the famous Csopak wine region. Here enjoy your delicious lunch with wine tasting.

Admire the lake from the ferry ride starting from Tihany. Make amazing photos during the 15 Minutes ride arriving to Szantod city.
From here we drive you back directly to Budapest to your private address.
