Review:
Located just one hour from Budapest, Velence Lake is an ideal day trip destination in the summer months. Smaller than Lake Balaton, and far less touristy, Lake Velence is a popular outdoor recreation area for local residents. There are several small towns and villages dotted around the perimeter of the lake and cycling or hiking between them is a popular activity. If you enjoy swimming or soaking up the sun you can head to the small town of Gardony, which has the largest beach. Water sports like wind-surfing, kayaking and paddle-boarding are all available around the lake and fishing is another popular recreational activity.
