Jump to sections
Holidays to Siófok are filled with lakeside walks, watersports and a vibrant evening atmosphere – plus a touch of history too.
Lake life meets nightlife
Siófok, an old fishing village on the southern shores of Lake Balaton, central Europe's largest freshwater lake, is now the biggest and most populated town around the lake, earning its title as the capital of Lake Balaton. Known for its lively promenade, beaches and fab watersports facilities, it's a bustling hub for both locals and tourists. The town has a rich history dating back to Roman times and is home to many cultural landmarks, like the historical Water Tower. You'll find the days are made for chilling out and exploring, but by night, the promenade comes alive with a vibrant energy filling the bars.
Spirit of summer
Siófok’s got a vibrant summer vibe. Stroll the tree-lined promenade, relax on the grassy spots or breathe in the fresh air while dining al fresco. The town's filled with restaurants, cafés and bars serving everything from local dishes to your classic comfort foods. Mala Garden's got a prime spot, where you can sip cocktails on the lakefront terrace and take in the views. And if you're in the mood for a late-night boogie, Siófok’s nightlife has you covered.
Walking trips and fresh water dips
Spend your days soaking up the mix of local culture and stunning scenery Siófok has to offer. Hop on a leisurely boat trip across the lake for some fab views, or dive into your holiday read by the water's edge. Don’t miss out on taste-testing the traditional Hungarian cuisine – think hearty goulash soup and delicious pastries. And for a cultural scoop, check out Jókai Mór Memorial House, dedicated to one of Hungary’s great writers, or catch an organ concert at the historic Roman Catholic church. Feeling active? Try stand-up paddleboarding or explore by bike or on a guided walking tour.
