The capital of Lake Balaton
Visit of Keszthely with bathing
We get to know one of the old aristocratic families in Transdanubia, the sumptuously equipped home of Festetics.
The Festetics Castle of Keszthely is one of the greatest sights of the country. During our less than an hour visit we walk through the 18 visitable rooms which are equipped with Baroque, Biedermeier and Empire furniture. After the walk in the English park surrounds the castle we can visit the chariot exhibition. Then – if the weather allows – from the boat station of Keszthely we view the Keszthely Bay with the nostalgia boats “Princess Sissy” or “Mermaid”. A real Balaton lunch is waiting for us in one shore buffet: fried hake with fresh bread and pickled cucumber. The afternoon is for the sun bathing and swimming, the Lake Balaton is waiting for us. If the weather is not too kind to us, then we visit the Kehidakustány Thermal Spa and Bath. In the bath area 18 pools were constructed: aqua and thermal pools, wave pool, spa tub, giant slide.
