TRANSPORT

Roads NR. 71 and 7 surround Balaton, in this way it is easy to travel around it. The public transport has the same route, and each settlement is to be easily reached. Tickets can be bought from the driver when we get on the bus, for the distance we want to cover. Cash is needed! There is no possible solution for a trip around the lake with one public transport means, since different counties operate their bus-system.
The Balaton´s railway route runs on its southern side, but train can also cover the northern side, tickets have to be bought at the stations. MÁV (the Hungarian railway-system) runs a nostalgia-train on the Keszthely-Badacsony-Révfülöp-Sümeg route between 1st July and 31st August.
