On August 20, 2025, Peter Rámek is set to light up the summer with a live concert in Balatonfüred as part of the vibrant ZeneFüred (MusicFüred) event series. Think of Lake Balaton (Balaton) in summer, and you imagine sunshine, sparkling waters, and, of course, unforgettable evenings filled with music and fun. That’s exactly the feeling the ZeneFüred programs aim to deliver, transforming the lakeside town into a hub of festive energy.
Where the Music Happens
The big night takes place at 8230 Balatonfüred, 64 Horváth Mihály Street. This is the pulse of the summer’s music scene, drawing in concertgoers eager for a memorable show. ZeneFüred isn’t stopping with Peter Rámek; the lineup includes other crowd-pleasers, like the Charlie concert on August 18, turning the entire week into a musical feast by the lake.
Dream Accommodation for Every Taste
Anyone coming for the concert is spoiled for choice when it comes to places to stay. The Siloam Reformed Mission Home (Siloám Református Missziói Otthon) sits in the heart of town, surrounded by picturesque landscapes, offering restful getaways, spiritual retreats, and lively community gatherings with an unbeatable view over Lake Balaton. It’s open all year round, making it a top pick whether you’re planning a family vacation or an off-season workshop.
The Astoria Hotel and Restaurant is another gem, housed in one of the town’s most stunning villa-like buildings, a romantic mansion built in 1868 by the Dőry family. Its main building preserves that old-world charm, complete with classic materials and elegant textiles in stylish suites. Prefer something a bit more modern? The guest wing caters to that taste, and thanks to its elegance, Astoria is a favorite venue for weddings, as well as family and business events.
For those wanting to be close to the action, there’s a cozy guesthouse right on Móricz Zsigmond Street—just 10 minutes from the famous Tagore Promenade and 15 minutes from the beach. Rooms range from doubles to family rooms and superior ground-floor options, with balconies or large terraces to enjoy the evening breeze. Ground-floor rooms are designed with accessibility in mind, making sure everyone can join the fun.
From spring through fall, apartment houses just a short stroll from the Tagore Promenade open their doors. Each apartment comes with its own bathroom, mini-kitchen, TV, Wi-Fi, mosquito nets, blinds, balcony or terrace, and air conditioning in the attic suites. For the full Balaton experience, another local guesthouse sits right next to the beach and promenade on a quiet backstreet, with five freshly built rooms—three of which have extra beds for families or groups, all with private bathrooms and balconies.
Luxury on the Lakeshore
If true indulgence is the goal, Anna Grand Hotel Wine & Vital is a must. Located in the historic center on the lake’s north shore, the hotel blends centuries-old charm with modern luxury following a complete renovation. Inside, rich materials and harmonious colors set the tone, and the hotel’s 13,000-square-foot wellness area is equally lavish, featuring a glass-walled swimming pool, Jacuzzi, Finnish and infrared saunas, steam bath, specialty showers, and more. Even non-guests can access these amenities with a daily pass.
Anna Villa Füred, also centrally located, is just right for adults seeking serenity. It enforces a quiet, adult-friendly atmosphere and only accepts guests under 14 by special arrangement, and only in downstairs or first-floor rooms.
Looking for spectacular views? The Bruckner Villa Apartment House (Bruckner Villa Apartmanház), built in 2004 on the edge of Balaton Uplands National Park (Balaton-felvidéki Nemzeti Park), offers panoramic views of Lake Balaton and Tihany Peninsula (Tihanyi-félsziget). The expansive garden is perfect for sunbathing and outdoor sports, and guests can grill in the pavilion or park securely in the gated yard.
Eat, Drink, and Savor
Balatonfüred is a culinary playground, boasting historic restaurants and trendy bars. Many eateries offer international and Hungarian dishes, vegetarian and diet options, and Mediterranean-style garden seating for up to 100 guests to enjoy meals outdoors when the weather’s nice. For those craving something sweet, Bergmann Confectionery (Bergmann Cukrászda) at 64 Petőfi Sándor Street has been serving traditional cakes and pastries since 1992, made from top-tier ingredients and family recipes.
Don’t miss the acai and smoothie bar, where every treat is vegan, gluten-free, and packed with fresh fruit, regionally sourced chocolate, nuts, and plant milks for guilt-free indulgence. For wine lovers, local cellars offer homegrown reds fermented in oak barrels and unfiltered for that true Balaton flavor—available at the town’s bustling market.
More Than Just a Concert
The Peter Rámek live concert is just one highlight in a lakeside town bursting with energy, history, and flavors. Whether you’re in it for the music, the heritage hotels, the buzzing restaurant scene, or simply lazing on the lakeshore, Balatonfüred’s irresistible mix guarantees this summer’s concert trip is more than just a night out. Just remember: organizers reserve the right to change the schedule—but who minds a little spontaneity at the lake?
