Places in a category, but not for a captafa.
The order is not a ranking. We're looking for a location that works really well.
One of the great advantages of Fonyód is that you do not have to spend every day within the borders of Fonyód to have a good holiday in Fonyód. From the port you can reach Badacsony by boat, directly by train Kaposvár, by car from Kishegy, Balatonpines, Heviz and several baths. A well-chosen trip does not take you away from your vacation in Balaton, but prevents you from changing the place of the towel on day four.
Choose the target based on weather and company. On a clear day, the Badacsony ship is already an experience because of the journey. For wine, Kishegy of Balatonlelle gives a panorama and several cellars, but you can solve the driver's question in time. Kaposvár offers culture, urban walks, museums and indoor baths and also works by train. The Balatonföld railway is strong with children and railway-friendly adults, and the Berek show a very different landscape than open Lake Balaton.
The timetables, shipping routes, small-scale trains and basements are seasonal. Our guides therefore provide a route and decision-making aspect, not forever valid departure time. Every trip was given its own page, where we gather why it's worth going, how to get there, and what is the detail that would be easy to miss.
Quick decision-making assistance
Don't pick the loudest sign. Choose your own day.
Without a car
A full trip with Badacsony ship and Kaposvár direct train.
With children
The Balatonföld railway, a family bath or an amusement park is a more predictable choice.
Wine and panorama
Kishegy and Badacsony are two different but both strong wine directions; plan without driving.
Common questions
Which is worth clearing up before we go.
Where can you get from Fonyód without a car?
You can get to Badacsony in the season by boat, by train directly to Kaposvár, and Balatonförves with regular railway connections.
What good rainy day?
Kaposvár museums and the flower bath, as well as larger covered thermal baths are the more secure directions.
When do we have to check the timetable?
Always right before we go. The order of the ship, railway and rail can vary according to season, weekday and track lock.
