Lake Balaton is the essence of Hungarian rural beauty. Hungary's version of Provance or Tuscany.
In March and April the weather is perfect, the scenery is at its best, the trees and flowers are blooming.
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.

European cities are great to visit, but sometimes the best sights are just a short distance away. Lake Balaton is a pleasant drive out of Budapest, but a fabulous surprise awaits. What an amazing place! It is a hidden gem! The lake itself is a gorgeous acqua colour and it is so large that it looks like an inland sea. We travelled by ferry over the lake to Tihany which is an extremely pretty little village (lots of photos were taken) with some quaint cafes and even an upmarket restaurant, and naturally a few souvenir shops with some home-made wares. We had coffee in a beautiful cafe overlooking the spectacular view. We also stopped to see some Hungarian long horned cows which are protected, and we walked through a field to see lots of little ground squirrels playing and eating. We even stopped to eat mulberries growing wild. Many thanks to Attila for making our 5 hour trip so enjoyable! Highly recommend to anyone who wants a break from crowds and city tours.

This was an excellent tour experience. This is not as long as some of the similar trips which was perfect for our packed few days in Budapest. Guide was extremely informative and felt safe when he was driving. The lake and surrounding village is beautiful and the lavender ice cream is a must try!
