Easy to Find, Worth the Trip
The exhibition is easy to reach, located at 81 Aligai Road (Aligai út 81) in Balatonvilágos. From Budapest, just take the Balatonvilágos exit toward Route 71, then continue straight to Balatonvilágos and you’ll see the exhibition building about 985 feet farther on the left. If coming from Siófok, exit at the Balatonfüred/Balatonvilágos/Enying turnoff, turn left onto Route 71, and once again, look for the building about 985 feet on the left.
If you plan to arrive by train, be aware it’s a one-mile walk from the station, mostly along a main road—organizers do not recommend traveling on foot for safety reasons.
