A year-round cultural and foodie whirl awaits on Lake Balaton’s north shore. Vonyarcvashegy, a resort village of about 2,400 people, stretches from the water’s edge up to the Keszthely Mountains, serving sweeping panoramas and a motto that nails it: “Forest behind us, water in front.” Expect concerts, theater, festivals, beach vibes, and plenty of guaranteed and optional leisure programs, plus hiking and excursions within and beyond the village limits.
