The most popular balneological resort in Hungary and throughout Europe, the town of Heviz is famous for its thermal lake. While resting in a local boarding house and gaining strength, guests of the city try to see other sights and beautiful places in Hungary. If you are also wondering where to go from Heviz for one day, pay attention to the city of Keszthely. It is located 6 km from the resort and it is here that the station is located, from where trains and buses depart to Budapest and other cities of the country and Europe.
Choosing a direction
The most popular routes for active tourists are not limited to Hungarian attractions. When planning where to go from Heviz, they consider the nearest countries of the Old World. So, the lists usually include:
- Budapest. The banks of the Danube River, the fortress mountain in Buda, the first underground metro in Europe, dozens of magnificent palaces, bridges and, of course, the building of the most beautiful parliament on the continent deserve the attention of every tourist.
- Vein. The capital of Austria is located six hours away by trains with transfers, and therefore it is better to allocate a couple of days for an excursion there or go by car.
- Pannonhalma Benedictine Monastery, founded in the 10th century. In addition to architectural attractions, the monastery offers guests an interesting collection of plants in the local botanical garden. The complex is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you can get there by train from the station in Keszthely or by yourself by car along the N83 road. Travel time will be about two hours.
- Wine region Tokaj. A place of growing grape varieties from which local Tokay wines are made. To travel to this region, it is best to buy an excursion at one of the Heviz travel agencies.
Capital on the Danube
Where to go from Heviz so that the impression of Hungary remains for a lifetime? Of course, to Budapest, a city that is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.
For a journey undertaken on your own, it is worth using the trains or buses leaving from the station in the city of Keszthely. Travel time will take from 2, 5 to 3 hours. There are also direct buses from Heviz itself, but the number of these flights is very limited.
By the way, it is not difficult to get from Budapest to the Austrian capital.
To the antiquities of the city of Pecs
Heviz and the ancient town of Pecs are only 150 kilometers away, which are easiest to travel by renting a car, taxi or bus. The largest city in the country after the capital is famous for the first Hungarian university that opened at the beginning of the 11th century.
Fans of antiquities shouldn't think long about where to go from Heviz, because the early Christian necropolis in Pech and its surviving fortress wall are real treasures for history lovers.
A few steps away
The nearest neighbor of Heviz, the city of Keszthely, boasts an equally interesting historical past. Tourists will enjoy excursions to the 18th century Hellikon Castle, walks along cozy streets and cruises on Lake Balaton.
