Székesfehérvár among top 10 tourist destinations of Hungary

According to a survey by tourism.com, Székesfehérvár ranks among the top 10 tourist destinations in Hungary, reports the mayor.eu. The list also mentions settlements such as Balatonfüred, Zalakaros, Hévíz, Debrecen, Eger and Veszprém and hence, Székesfehérvár seems to be in good company.

Tourism has taken a stride in the past ten years, having increased by 174%, aided by the stable and strong performance of the local economy. The Mayor of the city believes the 2013 St. Stephen’s Memorial Year to be the real breakthrough.

 The renewed Main Street and the high-quality programs of the Royal Days Festival have given new impetus and space to cultural and community life. The momentum has continued since thanks to the easy accessibility, unique cityscape and rich historical heritage of Székesfehérvár.

“With large-scale developments, we have been able to give a boost not only to business and sports tourism but also mark major achievements in cultural tourism,” says Székesfehérvár mayor Dr András Cser-Palkovics, quoted by szekesfehervar.hu.
