Discover Tihany: Hungary’s Hidden Gem on Lake Balaton 🇭🇺✨
Join me on a walking tour through Tihany, one of Hungary’s most charming and scenic villages, located on a volcanic peninsula jutting into the northern shores of Lake Balaton, just two hours southwest of Budapest.
🗺️ Where is Tihany and How to Get There?
Tihany lies in the heart of the Balaton Uplands National Park, making it a perfect weekend getaway from Budapest.
🚆 By train: Take a train from Budapest Déli Station to Balatonfüred (about 2 hours), then hop on a local bus or taxi for the 15-minute ride to Tihany.
🚗 By car: It’s an easy and scenic 1.5 to 2-hour drive via the M7 motorway.
🛥️ In summer, ferries also cross the lake from the southern side, connecting to Tihany.
🏰 Tihany Abbey & Royal History
This 1,000-year-old abbey overlooks the lake and is a symbol of Hungarian heritage. Founded in 1055, it still houses the original founding charter—the oldest written record in the Hungarian language!
💜 Lavender Fields & Festival Magic
In June, the hills bloom in purple. Visit during the Tihany Lavender Festival to enjoy fields of lavender, local products, and open-air events celebrating the region’s fragrance and charm.
🌿 Nature, Lakes & Peaceful Walks
Don’t miss the Inner Lake, nature trails, and panoramic viewpoints around the peninsula. The area offers an ideal mix of natural beauty, birdwatching, and volcanic landscapes.
🍽️ Local Food & Flavors
Enjoy a traditional Hungarian meal in a rustic csárda, try lavender-flavored desserts, or sip local wine with a view over the lake. Tihany’s food scene is as relaxing as its views.
🛍️ Souvenirs & Artisan Culture
Browse small boutiques offering handmade crafts, local wines, paprika, ceramics, and lavender everything!
