Peter Rámek is preparing for a live concert in Balatonfüred on August 20, 2025, as part of the ZeneFüred series. When it comes to summer at Lake Balaton (Balaton), most people think of sun, water, and carefree evenings filled with entertainment. ZeneFüred aims to capture exactly that energy with its dynamic programs, promising unforgettable vacation nights by the lakeshore.
When and Where to Experience the Magic
Peter Rámek’s open-air show will light up the town on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 8230 Balatonfüred, 64 Horváth Mihály Street (Horváth Mihály u.). This concert is one of the highlights of the August season—if you arrive a couple of days earlier, you can also catch the famous Charlie (Charlie) concert on August 18.
Where to Stay: Options for Every Taste
If you’re coming to Balatonfüred for the music, you’ll find a wide range of accommodations—from peaceful retreats to elegant hotels. The Siloam Reformed Mission Home (Siloám Református Missziói Otthon) combines rest, rejuvenation, and community events with stunning lake views. Perfect for family vacations, meditation retreats, workshops, or conferences, it’s open all year round.
The Astoria Hotel & Restaurant (Astoria Szálloda és Étterem) is one of the gems of the city. Originally built in 1868 as a romantic-style villa by the Dőry family, much of the hotel has been preserved in its historic splendor. The main building offers elegant rooms and suites decorated with luxurious fabrics and natural materials in a refined atmosphere, while the guest house features minimalist, modern rooms—so you can choose your preferred style. The entire property is an idyllic setting for weddings, corporate gatherings, and special events.
Pensions, Guesthouses, and Apartments
On Móricz Zsigmond Street (Móricz Zsigmond utca), you’ll find a guesthouse just a 10-minute walk from Tagore Promenade (Tagore sétány) and 15 minutes from the beach. With air-conditioned double, family, and superior rooms (many with balconies or spacious terraces), plus ground-floor options designed for guests with mobility needs, there’s something for everyone.
From spring to autumn, cozy apartment houses open just a few minutes’ walk from Tagore Promenade. All apartments come with a private bathroom, kitchenette, TV, Wi-Fi, mosquito nets, shutters, and balcony or terrace (top-floor apartments have air conditioning).
Balatonfüred’s family-run guesthouses welcome visitors all year round. Newly built, they offer five rooms (three of which can be equipped with extra beds), each with its own bathroom, balcony, TV, and kitchenette. Breakfast can be provided on request, and guests can park in a secure yard.
Luxury and Relaxation at Its Finest
On the historic north shore, Anna Grand Hotel (Anna Grand Hotel) offers a touch of timeless luxury in the heart of Balatonfüred.

Non-guests are welcome with a daily pass.
Anna Villa Füred (Anna Villa Füred) is an adults-oriented, uniquely relaxing spot just steps from the lake, prioritizing tranquility and peace for its guests. Children under 14 are only accommodated in certain rooms and only with prior agreement.
Bruckner Villa Apartment House (Bruckner Villa Apartmanház), established in 2004, is situated where the Peter Hill (Péter-hegy) forest meets Lake Balaton’s northern shore. Breathtaking views stretch across the water and the Tihany Peninsula (Tihanyi-félsziget). The spacious garden is perfect for sunbathing or sports, and guests can use the covered grill pavilion and secure parking.
Dining: From Vegan Treats to Historic Classics
Balatonfüred boasts a diverse culinary scene. Try international and Hungarian dishes in settings such as a Mediterranean-style garden for up to 100 guests, with vegetarian and dietary options available. You’ll find vegan refreshment bars serving ice cream, acai bowls, and smoothies—all plant-based and gluten-free, made from pure fruit, fine chocolate, selected seeds, and plant-based milks.
Some restaurants blend traditional flavors with the latest culinary trends. Enjoy lakeside or promenade-view terraces ideal for weddings, family gatherings, and corporate events. The Baricska Tavern (Baricska csárda), dating back to 1811, is set among vineyards and today aims to be a sanctuary for local food, wine, and culture.
For sweet temptations, the Bergmann Confectionery (Bergmann Cukrászda) on Petőfi Sándor Street (Petőfi Sándor utca) has been famous since 1992 for its traditional elegance and family recipes. Their pastries, both sweet and savory, made with high-quality ingredients, have become visitor favorites.
Wineries in Balatonfüred, such as those of the Bocsár Vineyard (Bocsár-pince), handle every step in-house, producing unfiltered, traditionally fermented reds and a select range of whites and rosés available at the local market.
Why Balatonfüred Captures Hearts
Balatonfüred is the oldest spa and resort town on the north shore, attracting visitors with its ideal geography and climate. The Blaha Lujza Hotel (Blaha Lujza Szálloda) is just 656 feet from the water in the heart of the historic Reform Era center; its restaurant occupies a neoclassical building, and the two-story hotel is the perfect home base for a lakeside adventure.
When you stroll the picturesque Tagore Promenade, don’t miss stops like BlisSs Beach Bistro & Bar and the legendary Borcsa Restaurant (Borcsa Étterem), a lakeside staple since 1984, famed for its great atmosphere and even better food.
