A legendary live concert is set to electrify Balatonfüred: Peter Rámek takes the stage on August 20, 2025, for the ZeneFüred live music series. What’s summer at Lake Balaton (Balaton) without sun, water, and those unforgettable evenings when music and laughter stretch into the night? Fans can expect just that as ZeneFüred brings the magic, promising one of those “YES, THIS IS WHY WE’RE HERE” feelings that define summer at the lake.
All You Need: Info, Accommodation, Food & Drinks
The concert happens in the heart of Balatonfüred, at 64 Mihály Horváth Street (Horváth Mihály utca 64). Summer on the lakeshore is in full swing, and ZeneFüred features not just Peter Rámek’s big night, but other events too. For example, on August 18, Charlie’s concert offers another reason to stay and soak in the atmosphere. Whether you’re coming for one night or a week, getting the full experience means knowing where to stay and where to eat.
Rest Like Royalty: Where to Stay
Start with the Siloam Reformed Mission Home (Sziloám Református Missziói Otthon), a picturesque haven offering peaceful rest and inspiring community events, framed by stunning lake panoramas. They offer year-round comfort—perfect for anything from a family vacation to a quiet spiritual retreat, conference, or workshop.
Perhaps classic grandeur is more your style? The Astoria Hotel & Restaurant (Astoria Szálloda és Étterem) occupies one of Balatonfüred’s most charming, castle-like mansions, built in romantic style by the Dőry family back in 1868. The main building’s rooms and suites brim with authentic materials and fine textiles, exuding an elite 19th-century ambiance for a true period experience. For those who prefer a modern touch, the guesthouse’s minimalist-style rooms deliver. Weddings, family celebrations, corporate meetings, and team-building events all feel at home here.
Balatonfüred offers plenty of options: a modern guesthouse on Zsigmond Móricz Street (Móricz Zsigmond utca) features air-conditioned double, family, and superior ground-floor rooms (the latter with easy access for guests with reduced mobility). Double rooms have balconies, while the superior rooms boast large terraces for a relaxing stay just steps from the Tagore Promenade (Tagore sétány) and the beach.
If you crave a bit more independence, check out the apartment houses close to Tagore Promenade—open from spring through fall—each with private bathrooms, mini-kitchens, TV, Wi-Fi, insect screens, shutters, terrace or balcony, and air conditioning in the attic.
Generations of hospitality await at a family-run guesthouse right next to the beach, newly built and peaceful, with five rooms (three can accommodate extra beds), all with private bathrooms, balconies, TVs, and mini-kitchens. Breakfast is available on request, and there is secure courtyard parking.
For a truly upscale experience, Anna Grand Hotel stands out, combining over 200 years of tradition with new 21st-century luxury, spa facilities, and a captivating blend of past and present. Guests are immediately struck by the harmony of fine materials, colors, and timeless style—spa access is available to both hotel guests and outside visitors, including swimming pools, saunas, steam baths, Jacuzzis, Kneipp walking path, experience showers, ice well, and plunge pool in a 12,917-square-foot wellness area.
Anna Villa Füred is another gem: an adults-only retreat focused on silence and tranquility, just a few minutes from the lake, available for guests aged 14 and over in select rooms.
Up the hill in Arács, built in 2004, Bruckner Villa Apartment House (Bruckner Villa Apartmanház) sits atop Pető Hill (Pető-hegy) at the edge of Balaton Uplands National Park (Balaton-felvidéki Nemzeti Park). Soak up the panorama of Lake Balaton (Balaton) and the Tihany Peninsula (Tihanyi-félsziget), sunbathe or grill in the lush garden. Secure courtyard parking is included.

From reimagined historical dishes to modern international cuisine, Balatonfüred’s restaurants and bistros serve up plenty of flavor. Enjoy vegan smoothies, açaí bowls (superfood from the Amazon!), and plant-based ice creams at a dedicated smoothie bar, with everything gluten-free and loaded with selected fruits, premium chocolate, seeds, and plant milks.
Traditional institutions like Baricska Tavern (Baricska Csárda) invite you to dine among old vineyards, serving both classic and creative dishes—staying true to local roots but introducing new flavors. The panoramic terrace offers unbeatable views of the water.
