During the hot summer months, there is nothing better than enjoying the bright sunshine, exploring breathtaking treasures and refreshing ourselves in the natural waters. Where else to do all this if not in the beautiful Hungary? Come along and discover 5 unmissable destinations for this summer!

Lake Balaton

Being the largest lake in Central Europe, Lake Balaton is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Hungary. The Hungarian Sea provides a breathtaking panorama for its visitors on both sides of the lake. In addition, the northern shoreland involves six landscape protection areas within the territory of the Balaton Uplands National Park. One the most important attractions of the region is the Tihany Peninsula which is the first protected landscape area of Hungary, famous for its geology as well as flora and fauna.

We should not miss the Tapolca Basin either which was described as the most beautiful landscape of Hungary by several poets, novelists and painters. In addition, we must mention Szentgyörgy and Csobánc Hills where active tourists can enjoy wine cellars, hiking trails, and adventurous bike paths while enjoying the wonderful panorama of the region. After discovering the breathtaking views, it is worth getting down to the beach of Lake Balaton and refresh ourselves in the Hungarian Sea.

Lake Velence

Due to the sunshine and its shallow depth of 1.5 m on average, Lake Velence is one of the warmest lakes in Europe, with water temperatures reaching 26-28 °C. Therefore, it is not surprising that similarly to Lake Balaton, it is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Hungary.

In addition to the charming villages around the lake, Lake Velence is rich in minerals (sodium and magnesium) and its excellent waters are refreshing and regenerating for the exhausted body. In addition to bathing, it can also be used to relieve rheumatic pains, as reported by Wikipedia.

Lake Tisza

The fourth largest lake of Hungary, Lake Tisza, also awaits its visitors with several exciting programs and natural treasures. Do not miss the chance to observe the special flora and fauna of the area and get amazed by the wooden water promenade of Lake Tisza.
