Lake Balaton is already filled with people: crazy crowds, shocking prices

Many set off on the weekend of May 1 due to the gradual relaxations, bright spring sunshine, and a desire to be outdoors after confinement.

HelloVidék toured the southern and northern shores of the Hungarian Sea. They took a trip to look at restaurants and popular tourist attractions.

They got in a car on the morning of the first of May and headed for Lake Balaton to explore the opportunities offered by the first hot spring weekend after the opening. They chose Fonyód for their first round.

Traffic was still subdued at the time, with only a few agricultural vehicles disturbing the traffic; but in return, the endless rapeseed fields of Somogy is like honey for the soul.

By midday, the traffic had intensified. Around ten o’clock in the morning, turning onto the main road was already tricky. They thought it would be worth visiting the beach first, so they headed in that direction. After being unable to find any parking in any possible way, they decided to cancel the plan of the walk on the shore of Fonyód.

They headed for the Panorama Promenade in hopes of a smaller crowd. Along the way, they encountered plenty of renovations. As it turned out, from the spring of 2021, the apartments will be finished.

The building’s location is unique, as it is located between turn-of-the-century buildings, surrounded by the peace and quiet provided by the immediate vicinity of a national park. The Szaplonczay promenade, known for its panorama, passes in front of our entrance, and the shores of Lake Balaton are only a 5-6 minute walk away.
