Herend Porcelain Factory and Lake Balaton Day Trip from Budapest

Description

Leave Budapest for the day to visit the famous porcelain town of Herend and the most popular Hungarian resort of laid-back Lake Balaton. The trip includes a guided tour through the world's largest porcelain factory at Herend before continuing to beautiful Lake Balaton.

At Herend porcelain factory, founded in 1826, you'll learn how the tradition of hand-painting the highly successful patterns has been passed down from father to son. You'll have time for a coffee break here, as well as time to purchase some of the world-famous hand-painted porcelain.

The tour continues to Lake Balaton, the largest freshwater lake in Central Europe, scenically located at the foot of the volcanic hills of the Balaton Uplands. Here, you'll visit a traditional tavern to enjoy a three-course lunch with wine.

After lunch, you'll take a drive to visit the oldest spa in Hungary, Balatonfured, before returning to Budapest.
