The fifth Porsche Meeting is set to take over the Veszprém Arena (Veszprém Aréna) parking lot on Saturday, May 23, 2026, promising a full day of gleaming sports cars, passionate fans, and all kinds of city delights for visitors. If you’re dreaming of that unmistakable Porsche roar or just want a weekend filled with luxury, this event rolls out the red carpet—literally and figuratively—in the heart of Veszprém.
Where to Stay: Comfort Meets Style
No matter your taste or budget, Veszprém has your accommodations covered. Options range from first-class guesthouses in quiet garden neighborhoods to stylish hotels on the banks of the Séd Creek (Séd-patak), just steps from the city’s main attractions and even the zoo. Several guesthouses can accommodate up to 35 people at a time, offer free parking, 17 fully equipped, ultra-comfortable rooms (one is accessible), and a well-stocked drink bar. Their calm surroundings will guarantee you a peaceful night’s rest—and the city center is only a leisurely 10-15-minute stroll away, with plenty of nearby restaurants.
For something a bit more special, check out hotels located right by Séd Creek (Séd-patak). Imagine staying somewhere with a woodland atmosphere, just a stone’s throw from the zoo entrance and the iconic Viaduct (Viadukt). With 38 tastefully decorated rooms and space for 85 guests, these hotels are favorites among families and business travelers alike, whether you’re here for a conference, presentation, or corporate training.
Another gem is the Forest Guesthouse (Erdő Szálló), located about 250 yards from Veszprém Zoo (Veszprémi Állatkert). It not only offers easy access to Lake Balaton (Balaton) and the Bakony Mountains (Bakony), but also serves as a perfect base for exploring the Séd Valley (Séd-völgy) walking trails and historical sites.
On the west side of Veszprém is the Silver Bridge Hotel (Ezüsthíd Hotel), nestled in a peaceful garden district 2,600 feet from the bustling city center. Recently opened, it’s ideal for both leisure tourists and business visitors, as well as for special events.
Looking for something even more convenient? Plenty of guesthouses are less than 1,000 feet from the main city ring or the Balatonfüred Road (Balatonfüredi út) intersection. Whether you’re traveling for business, on vacation, or just looking for family-friendly accommodations that feel as safe as home, these places welcome you with local and specialty cuisine. Date nights, anniversaries, or casual family dinners—their restaurants fit every occasion.
Historical Charms and Urban Hideaways
If you want to soak in some history during your stay, book a room at the hotel and restaurant named after Hungary’s first queen, Gisela (Gizella). Located at the base of the castle in Veszprém’s historic quarter, it’s recommended for those looking to recharge in beautiful, traditional surroundings. The restaurant echoes this atmosphere, with direct steps leading up to quaint old streets and lively plazas, as well as the charming waterside of the creek.
For a truly boutique experience, consider a small hotel with 29 beds close to Old Town Square (Óváros tér). This unique building houses a 60-person event hall and an 80-seat cellar restaurant. Or, indulge in a stay at Hotel Historia Malomkert, where historic architecture, distinctive style, and panoramic castle views ensure an unforgettable visit—whether you’re here to explore, relax, or focus on work.
Another reliable option, Hotel Jade, is close to downtown (just 2,600 feet away) and offers apartments, double, and triple rooms, catering equally to leisure and business travelers.
Centrally located, the Veszprém Hotel is an ideal starting point, with one side facing the main road and the other overlooking the pedestrian street—no matter your reason for visiting.
Bites, Beats, and Chill Zones
What’s a Porsche gathering without great places to eat, drink, and celebrate? For nightlife, BLISSS THE CLUB leads Veszprém’s scene, offering a vast selection of drinks, classy service, and top-notch music shows with star performers for a memorable night out.
Casual food lovers will enjoy the inviting bistros and restaurants scattered through the city: intimate venues in the heart of downtown, modern street food spots, pizzerias with a twist, and cozy cafés serving handmade sourdough goods alongside specialty coffee. Daiquiri Café and Cocktail Bar aims to make you feel right at home—whether you want to relax in a quiet corner or catch up with friends or emails in comfort.
Head to picturesque Séd Creek (Séd-patak) for relaxed dining, or sample local classics and international dishes at restaurants perfect for anything from a quick lunch to a romantic date. Menus often rotate weekly, so there’s always something new to try.
If music is your thing, Expresszó Club is the hotspot for live gigs and concerts. Family-friendly eateries like Historia Hangvilla offer a changing daily menu, Saturday dance nights, and amenities from play corners to special deals for kids.
