Lake Balaton Tours and Tickets

Lake Balaton is the essence of Hungarian rural beauty. Hungary's version of Provance or Tuscany. In May the weather is perfect, the scenery is charming, with the fresh spring colors. However, any time of the year, you will enjoy stunning views, the most beautiful village in the country with century-old whitewashed houses. The driving time is about 90 minutes. Then we use the ferry to cross the lake (together with the car), where you can already enjoy the beautiful view of the Lake. The ferry takes us to the nicest part of the lake, a quaint village with the best views.

Spend a day away from the crowds of the capital without having to join a massive tour group.
