If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 17 miles away, Tihany is worth hopping in the car for. Tihany Abbey, Tihany Marina and Royal Balaton Golf & Yacht Club alone make the drive out worth it. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Siofok, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Golden Shore. (But we’d also highly recommend Sio Plaza and Siofok Water Tower.)
