We start the tour from your Hotel, where you will meet your private guide and transport. The tour will take you west from Budapest, all along the lake Balaton, first of all up to the city of Heviz. From Heviz we will continue north, to Keszthely. As we curl back eastwards to Budapest, we continue finally towards Badacsony and make our last stop.
The tour includes visit to three unique coastal cities, all with special, private guided walking trips. At the end of your long day, we take you back back to your hotel in Budapest.
Imagine a quiet, peaceful place amidst lush green forests where everything is about relaxation. A place where you can bathe amongst colorful water lilies in the gentle turquoise thermal water. A place centred to invigorate, revitalise and pamper you.
Your imagination is reality in Heviz!
Bathing amongst an array of white, pink and purple water lilies in the steaming thermal lake. Thanks to a combination of the water and the lake bed’s composition, Heviz offers benefits such as prevention and treatment of joint disease and post-injury treatment.
The main attraction of Keszthely is the Festetics Castle. The Festetics Palace is the third biggest and the most visited palace of Hungary. Constructions for the Baroque palace started in 1745, but it has been remodeled and expanded several times after that. The awe-inspiring palace park, which offers great opportunities for relaxation as well, is a protected nature reserve with a French and an English garden, fountains and statues that take you back in time, and a palm house where we can find a singular tropical hibiscus collection unique in the whole of Europe.
Badacsony is one of Hungary’s iconic regions. Along with Tokaj and Somló, Badacsony was famed across Europe for its characterful, full-bodied, minerally, white wines. These three regions form a kind of Holy Trinity of Hungarian volcanic winemaking regions, with unique, concentrated wines capable of long ageing. Badacsony wines are typically white and dry, but sweet wines are also made from late-harvest or shriveled grapes.
Located in the Tapolca Basin on the western reaches of the northern shore of Lake Balaton, the magnificent truncated volcanic butte of
Badacsony Hill can be seen dominating the horizon across the emerald green lake from the flatter southern shore. At 438 meters high, it is the highest point in the region. Vineyards girdle the hill and are characterized by small, often terraced plots with beautifl press houses and villas. The scenery is reminiscent of an undiscovered Hungarian Tuscany.
