Balatonfüred

Located on the northern shore of Lake Balaton, Balatonfüred is a popular tourist resort. In 1971it was the first city in Hungary to be declared a Health-and Holiday-City, while in 1987 it became an International Grape and Wine City.

The nearly one-kilometre long promenade along the water’s edge is named after B.Tagore, the Hindu, 1913 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, who planted a tree in the nearby park to commemorate the successful recovery of his health.

The remnants of a Romanesque style church can be found on the city’s northwestern border.

The city’s most well-known event is the Anna Ball which has been held on the third Saturday of July ever since 1825.

Balatonfüred, one of Hungary’s traditional wine-growing regions, is particularly known for its white wines.
