Vörs, tucked into northwest Somogy by the Small Balaton (Kis-Balaton), Lake Balaton, and the Marcali Ridge, is small-town calm with big-culture energy: a folk house with original furnishings, a one-of-a-kind fire brigade museum, and an imposing church make it a deceptively rich getaway. In 2025, it’s packed with Advent-season programs across multiple venues.
