Balatonfüred - "International Town of Grape and Wine"

This small town with its historical atmosphere is located on the north shore of the "Hungarian Sea", the Lake Balaton. Balatonfüred has a more than two thousand year old history as there has been a settlement here since Roman times. Among the architectural masterpieces from the 18th century one can find the Nagyvendéglő, the State Hospital for Heart Diseases, the house of the Lajos Kossuth spring, the bigger house of Ádám Horváth Pálóczi and the mansion of Ferenc Széchenyi, which all influence the atmosphere of the town even today.

Balatonfüred became truly popular in the 19th century, when it was considered as one of the most important centres of cultural and social life in Hungary. Famous poets, writers and politicians spent the summer here at that time. In 1825 the first Anna-ball was organized in the Horváth house, which is still a popular event in every year.
