Leave the bustle of Budapest behind and discover the natural beauty of Lake Balaton, Hungary’s most beloved destination. Your journey begins with a pickup at Balatonföldvár railway station, where you’ll head toward the lakeshore to enjoy a peaceful panorama at the Szántód viewpoint, one of the most scenic spots on the southern shore.

Take a gentle hike (total distance: 8 km) to the Őrtorony viewpoint for breathtaking vistas over the lake, then stroll through Tihany’s charming old village and visit the historic Tihany Abbey. You’ll have free time here to explore or enjoy a traditional Hungarian lunch or snack (not included in the price).
Afterward, continue to Astro Garden Balaton in the tranquil village of Szólád. Surrounded by nature, this peaceful spot blends astronomy, creativity, and local charm, offering a relaxing way to end your day by the lake before returning to Balatonföldvár.
Experience the perfect mix of nature, culture, and calm on this refreshing escape to the heart of Lake Balaton.
