Balatonfüred & Tagore Promenade
Balatonfüred, Tagore sétány
The oldest spa town on the north shore, with a tree-lined lakeside promenade, a yacht harbor, and 19th-century thermal spa architecture.
About 8 kilometers from Tihany, Balatonfüred has been famous since the 19th century for its carbonated mineral spa waters. The Tagore Promenade by the lake is named after Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, who stayed here for treatment in 1926 and planted trees along the route. The walk is lined with sculptures, piers, and a yacht harbor, and in summer passenger ferries run from here to Tihany and the south shore. At Spa Square (Gyógy tér), the Kossuth Spring Pavilion offers free tastings of the mineral water, and nearby stand a heart hospital and the venue for the Anna Ball. Each July the town hosts the Anna Ball and summer sailing regattas.
