Szigliget

Szigliget is one of the most prominent cultural and historical settlements of the Balaton Uplands, where natural surroundings, gastronomy, and heritage preservation form a harmonious whole. The centerpiece of the village is the renovated castle, open year-round and hosting numerous events. Local wineries, restaurants, and cultural programs showcase the traditions and values of the region. The village plays an active role in tourism development, and several themed hiking trails start from here.

Szigliget can be reached by car via Route 71. The nearest train station is in Badacsonytördemic, from where the center is about a 50-minute walk. Buses connecting to trains are available here, and additional routes depart from the town of Tapolca. Long-distance buses also stop near the castle at “Szigliget, bejárati út,” just a 15-minute walk from the Main Square. During the season, the village can also be reached by scheduled boat services, although the walk from the pier to the castle takes about an hour.
