Cycling day trip from Siófok to Keszthely

Cycling from Siófok to Keszthely

Ready for a classic Balaton ride? This scenic route takes you from lively Siófok—often called the capital of Balaton’s Party scene—all the way to charming Keszthely, home to the stunning Festetics Palace. You’ll cruise along the southern shore of Lake Balaton for just under 81 km, with most of the ride on smooth paved roads and dedicated cycleways (over 98% paved!).

The terrain is mostly flat, so it’s a relaxing trip with just a few gentle climbs—nothing too taxing. You’ll pass through peaceful lakeside towns, sleepy villages, and endless vineyards, all while enjoying lake breezes and plenty of water views. There are lots of chances for a quick swim or café stop along the way.

Keszthely welcomes you at the far end with its grand palace, beautiful parks, and a laid-back harbor vibe. Whether you’re tackling the whole lake or just this stretch, you’ll love the blend of nature, Hungarian hospitality, and history on this ride!
