Vonyarcvashegy, on Lake Balaton’s north shore, is going all-in for 2025 with culture, food, wine, and plenty of reasons to stay longer. Streets run from the water up to the crest of the Keszthely Hills, where the panorama delivers on the town’s cheeky slogan: “Behind us the forest, in front of us the water.” With around 2,400 residents, it’s small, scenic, and packed with concerts, theater, festivals, beach time, and guided or DIY activities. Book a room, pick a restaurant, and start wandering—on foot, by bike, or through the vineyards.
