- Lake Balaton tour incl. wine tasting
The Balaton region is one of Hungary’s most popular destinations.
When I was a child there were just a very few things making me as excited as I felt when I could go to the Balaton. For us Hungarians it is our sea.
The 77 kms long beautiful lake - the largest fresh-water lake of Central Europe - is ideal choice if you want to see some of the Hungarian countryside.
The beautiful landscapes, the great gastronomy, the fresh wines, the charme of the villages and the historical and architectural heritage of the region are all good reasons to plan a visit here. The tour requires a day.
The pearl of the Balaton is the Tihanyi Peninsula. This is the settlement we will visit first. Thanks to the special attributes of its landscape, its geological idiosyncrasies, its diverse flora and fauna, it was the first designated landscape protection area of the country. On its smaller hill a church and a monastery were founded in Tihany as early as nine centuries ago.
After admiring the breathtaking panorama and visiting the village we will head to Balatonfüred, the capital of the northern shore. Balatonfüred was always beloved by artists and writers, not by accident. We will make a walk along the pretty promenade and observe the beautiful villas and mansions.
Your day at Balaton lake will be completed by a visit to a winery with an amazing view over the Balaton. The fantastic panorama will most likely take your breath away. Mountains, hills, plains, forests, meadows, vineyards, villages and houses. Clouds, wind, colors, smells.
You can taste several wines of the region and hopefully find your favourite one. The winery offers fine food as well!
- The Danube bend
The Danube bend is an S shaped curve of the river that begins just below Esztergom and twists down to near Szentendre.
This is one of the richest regions is terms of cultural and historical heritage: green valleys, hills rising up from the Danube, picturesque little towns and medieval fortresses.
This tour along the "Blue Danube" will get you aquainted with the royal Hungarian towns of Visegrád, Esztergom and the smal artsy riverside village of Szentendre. Even if you spend just a short time in Hungary, the bend is worth to see: the beautiful region is located very near of Budapest.
Szentendre: On the way to the Danube bend we will stop in the artist's village of Szentendre. It is a small baroque city at the gate of the Danube Bend in a beautiful natural environment. Cobbled squares, colorful baroque houses, narrow streets, graceful churches, nice cafes and quality souvenir/art shops. Szentendre means home and inspiration for many well known Hungarian artists. The art shops here are famous throughout the whole country.
Visegrád once was the capital of Hungary. From the hill there you will enjoy an absolutely fascinating panorama on the Danube bend.
Esztergom: Hungary’s first king István was born and crowned here. Esztergom was the seat of the first Hungarian kings until 1241. Though, the city is still the centre of the Hungarian Catholic Church.
First you will get to see the city of Esztergom from the opposite side of the river which belongs to Slovakia. We will cross the river through the Maria Valeria bridge.
After that we will go back to Esztergom and visit the largest cathedral of Hungary (burial place of famous cardinals of Hungary, like the renowned Primate József Mindszenty).During our stay in Esztergom we can stop for lunch (optional, not incl.).
Szentendre, the small charming, artsy riverside city with its beautiful buildings and streets, is a must for anyone who has an interest in art and folklore. A knowledgeable ceramic artist will host you in an authentic art studio, and let you see how fine hungarian ceramics are created! After the arts studio visit you will have time to explore the charming town and you will enjoy home-cooked lunch in Szentendre.
