Things to do in Nagykanizsa

  1. Erzsébet

    The local Kanizsai beer flows as freely throughout the year as it does at the Kanizsai Days Festival at the beginning of October, and there are a lot of decent pubs and bars, including Erzsébet, a more refined café/bar, with street-side seating suitable for coffee during the day and drinks at night.

  2. Zalakaros

    If you want to take the (thermal) waters, you'll have to go to the spa at Zalakaros, 18km to the northeast near the Little Balaton (Kis-Balaton). The Zalakaros spring, which gushes out of the ground at an incredible 92°C, was discovered by workers drilling for oil in the early 1960s.
