Siófok, where the Balaton begins

As the sunniest town on Lake Balaton, Siófok is the vibrant center of the southern shore—where Balaton tourism began over a century ago. Today, it’s a lively, modern resort town that still preserves its charming old villas, cozy streets, and rich cultural heritage. It’s also the birthplace of world-famous operetta composer Imre Kálmán, whose life and work are celebrated in his memorial house. Stroll through the town and feel past and present come alive.
