Set off on a full-day trip from Budapest to Lake Balaton, Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, and its surrounding cities.

Lake Balaton Full-Day Trip

Having been picked up at 9 am, we'll board a comfortable minibus and embark on the two-hour drive to Tihany, located on the Tihany Peninsula. This village offers the best views of Lake Balaton, a favorite among Hungarians.

In Tihany, follow your guide on a tour of the Benedictine Abbey, founded in 1055 by King Andrew I of Hungary, who is buried in its crypt. The Abbey was reconstructed in 1754 in a Baroque style.

We'll also go on an hour-long boat ride to take in the beauty of Lake Balaton from the water.

Leaving Tihany, we'll make our way to Balatonfüred, Hungary's oldest spa town. We'll stroll along scenic promenades and enjoy the fresh air in Balatonfüred before starting our return journey to Budapest.

After a total of 10 hours, we'll arrive back in Budapest.
