English-speaking private guide and private car provided throughout the weekend in Budapest.

A) Discovery of Lake Balaton and its surroundings 

Lake Balatonis the largest lake in Europe apart from the Scandinavian lakes. Already the Romans inhabited the surroundings of the lake, being a source of water and food. Then the first Hungarians also built fortifications, as well as a monastery in Tihany, of which we still find the vestiges today. In the 18th century beautiful baroque towns like Veszprém and Keszthely were built. In the 19th century the potential in curative tourism was discovered, and Hévíz and Balatonfüred saw their development. 

From the 1970s, towns like trendy Siófok were and still are very popular. There are many marinas for sailing and peaceful places, surrounded by reeds, for fishing. And of course, beaches by the “Hungarian Sea” as we call it here. Departure from the hotel at 08:00 after breakfast. The visit will start atSzigliget (175 km from Budapest) to Lake Balaton, where you will visit the remains of the castle or to the Arboretum Folly (according to your wishes) from where you will have a very beautiful view of the Balaton. 

A wine tasting with cold dishes will also be on the program today, to taste the delicious wines of the region, because the wines of Badacsony, Csopak are famous.  Continuation with the visit of Tihany, which is a peninsula in Lake Balaton, with at the top a Benedictine monastery which houses in its cellar the tomb of King Andrew I, who died in 1055. A fortified castle was built to fight against the attack of the Tatars in the 13th century, which he resisted well. The Turks couldn’t take it either. After the Turks, it was the Austrians who wanted to take the reins in Hungary. At the defeat of the first Hungarian revolution against the Habsburgs, the emperor blew up practically all the fortified castles, including that of Tihany as well. A church and an abbey were built in the 18th century, which has remained intact to the present day. 

It was here that the last Habsburg king was imprisoned by the Entente after the First World War, until his exile. A room commemorates Charles IV and Zita Bourbon.Guided tour in Tihany, with the discovery of the Echo hill, the Pottery House and the Abbey.  Free time for shopping, coffee, photos, lunch, etc. Return to Budapest around 6:00 p.m., arrival scheduled for 8:00 p.m.

B) The Royal Palace of Gödöllő and Szentendre, the village of arts

Gödöllő is synonymous with Hungarian-style baroque palace . The wings of the palace do not go forward, like arms inviting the visitor, but backward, to frame the garden. Count Anatole Grassalkovich I ^had the first magnificent Baroque palace built in the middle of the 18th century, which subsequently gave its name to an architectural style, the “Gödöllő style”. The palace includes an exhibition of furniture, paintings and porcelain that belonged to Sisi and Francois Joseph, who received this palace from the Hungarian state as a coronation gift as reindeer and king of Hungary in 1867. The visit also includes the castle’s baroque theater (which still functions today). Then, continuation with the visit of Szentendre.  2-course lunch included in Szentendre or Gödöllő (depending on time). 

Szentendre is a picturesque artistic village which has kept its 18th century style. It was a village of winegrowers, tanners and traders, but phylloxera destroyed the vines, and the village was deserted. It was in the 20th century that artists began to come to Szentendre to paint or compose, because calm reigned there. This village was and still is today a bit like going back in time. Guided tour of Szentendre, with a Serbian church and the Kovács Margit gallery (ceramics). Free time to visit other galleries or shops.

This city is also famous for its fortified castle which resisted the onslaught of the Turksin the 16th century for several decades after the fall of Buda. The city was subsequently conquered by the Turks, we find in memory in Eger the northernmost minaret of all Europe. Near the small town, a valley with many cellars, the valley of the Belle Dame. Eger is famous for its wine, and particularly for the Bikavér, which translates to “Blood of the bull”. Return to Budapest around 5:00 p.m., arrival scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
