Balatonfüred in August 2025 – what not to miss?
August on the shore of Lake Balaton is the very peak of summer. At this time Balatonfüred is full of life: on the Tagore promenade the fresh Balaton breeze carries music, the clinking of wine glasses and the carefree laughter of summer evenings. For guests of Lívia Apartmanok this period is a real treat – there is something exciting going on in and around the town almost every day.
