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.

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.

Lake Tisza
