Go to the beach and have fun at the Water
The Keszthely Bay offers us many possibilities for water recreation. We can choose from the beaches of Lake Balaton according to our taste and admire the historic Island Bath. We can go on a boat trip from the Pier, but of course we can also find the opportunity to sail in the marina. We can choose from many water sports and try the water playground as well.

Our favorite#festetics-kastely-tortenelmi-modellvasut-kiallitasThe 'Night Lights' spectacle is unique in the world, thanks to the hundreds of lamps that form part of the exhibition.
An interesting fact#festetics-kastely-tortenelmi-modellvasut-kiallitasThis is one of the largest mountain railway dioramas in the world, which illustrates the altitude difference and faithfully shows all the exhibits.
Hint#festetics-kastely-parkjaThe castle park is a popular location for wedding photography, especially in the summer.
An interesting fact#festetics-kastely-helikon-kastelymuzeumAccording to the tradition, Lady Mary Hamilton, of Scottish and British noble descent, arrived to Keszthely with a train loaded with furniture. She brought portraits of her family members and then, together with her husband, enriched further their castle.
An interesting fact#festetics-kastely-palmahaz-es-madarparkThe structural elements of the Palm House were made in the factories of Gustave Eiffel in Paris. Its excellent quality is evidenced by the fact that the main supporting elements, twisted columns, have not yet been replaced. Eiffel is associated with the tower named after him, or the conception and design of the Statue of Liberty in New York, but his company also designed the plans for the main building of the Western Railway Station in Hungary.
