Undeniably, in general, the most popular tourist destination in Hungary is its capital, Budapest. However, despite the small size of Hungary, there are still plenty of interesting destinations to visit or maybe even consider moving to.
This time, Uswitch has compiled a list of lakeside town and city destinations in Europe so that you can enjoy both the fun provided by the water nearby and indulge in the historic and entertaining experiences the local town has to offer.
“For many, waterfront living is a dream come true. The beautiful scenery is reason enough to purchase a waterfront property, but there are also the added advantages of tranquillity, privacy, and an abundance of wildlife to observe. What’s more, these locations also tend to have cleaner air, as well as a host of psychological benefits, including reduced stress, anxiety, and depression,” the website writes.
In order to determine the best lakeside town, Uswitch created a points-based system to rank them by factors such as average weather in the area, temperature of the water, the number of restaurants per 1,000 inhabitants, and the area of green space in the vicinity.
Two of the top three places went to Italy, with the first place awarded to Lake Bolsena with a total score of 88.89 out of 100. Lake St. Croix took second place from France, with an overall score of 83.26, and the last place on the podium goes to the popular Lake Garda in Italy, with a little over 80.82 points.
Lake Neusiedl in Austria took fifth place with a total score of 75.92, and while, unfortunately, due to construction in the area, the Hungarian Lake Fertő is currently closed to visitors, it will definitely be worth a visit once the construction work is finished.
Finally, in ninth position is Keszthely, a tourist destination already popular thanks to the beautiful Festetics Palace and the closeness of the Hungarian Sea, aka Lake Balaton.
