Life’s too short for boring food.  However, if you’re feeling adventurous, perhaps you might like to sample unique and delicious cuisine from Mexico.  Hidden on the main street of Szekesfehervar, is your new home for a great meal, friendly service and surprising entertainment.  Sit on the terrace and sip on an authentic Margarita, or hang inside with friends old and new and discover new flavors.

Lake Velence

Lake Velence

Lake Velence is the third largest lake in Hungary. One-third of its surface is covered by reed. It is one of the warmest lakes in Europe because of the sunshine and its shallow waters with an average depth of 1.5 metres: the temperature of the water can reach 26-28 ºC.

The excellent water of Lake Velence, rich in minerals (sodium and magnesium) can refresh and regenerate your exhausted body. Apart from bathing it is also suitable for the relieving of rheumatic pains. Lovers of nature can watch the exceptionally rich avian world of the lake at the Dinnyés Bird-watching Spot. It is one of the most frequented holiday resorts in Hungary thanks to its natural and geographical advantages and the regulation of the lake.

The “Lake of sunshine” incites us to bathe, to go punting and to sunbathe. The shallow sandy lakesides on the southern part of the lake provide safe bathing for children. Those looking for active relaxation can try surfing, mini-golf or the water-ski and wakeboard course. Children and those water-sports lovers can choose from lakesides with shallow or deep water.

Dragon-boating, canoe trips, scheduled boats between Agárd, Gárdony and Pákozd, wakeboard, surf for the beginners and the advanced. You can rent boats or sailing-boats. At pre-arranged times there are night-trips into the vast reed where the Moon will be your guide. Cycle round the lake on the newly-built, 31-kilometre-long bicycle path! It is a trip full of attractions and experiences in only a couple of hours. The more adventurous can go on a quad trip around the lake and fight in a paintball battle.

Along the reed huge carps, crucian carps and predatory fish can be caught. You can buy the permit for the region in fishing-equipment shops and tourist information offices.

Visit the first outdoor trampoline-park of Europe in Agárd! Jump City theme park is almost 2000 square metres big and has 8 different zones with more than 120 jumping-areas for holidaymakers and lovers of active entertainment.

The Venice Beach Cable Park has a unique set of elements in the country. On the cable-course the 16 elements are arranged in 4 rows.

Vértes Nature Park

Vértes Nature Park

This extensive Nature Park rich in natural and cultural values is the scene of relaxation, education on environmental protection, the spread of information and the practical realisation of environmentally friendly farming.

The exhibition rooms of the Geszner House present the flora and fauna of the hills through installations, collections, photographs and graphics.

The 3.5-kilometer-long Nature Trail of the Haraszti Hills is one of the most spectacular trails. At the seven stops on this trail visitors become acquainted with geological curiosities and the rich variety of flora and fauna which has evolved on the rough surface of the dolomite hills under different climates and in different soils and which has adjusted to extreme conditions.

The 13.5-kilometer-long Bogbean (Vidrafű) nature trail was named after a protected plant which prefers wet areas and blossoms in the spring with magical white petals. Walking along the trail one can discover the flora and fauna of the former pond and marsh area and the development of different plant associations signalling the continuous filling up of the lake.

The habitats of the Zámoly Basin resembling the Great Plains can be discovered riding a covered wagon with comfortable seats for up to 20-25 people. The most exciting stop on this journey by the puszta-busz (covered wagon) is the Plains Animal Park where the peace and quiet of the Hungarian fallow donkey, native Hungarian Grey Cattle, Hungarian Spotted Cattle, Indian Water buffalo, the Hungarian half-bred – ancestor of today’s horse –  Hungarian Racka Sheep, the Hungarian Naked Neck,  Guinea-Fowl, the Hungarian, the Bronze and the Copper Turkey, the Plain-feathered and Frilled-feathered Hungarian Goose are guarded by the Kuvasz, the Mudi and the Pumi.

Bale rolling, rabbit throwing, bullwhipping, Puli coaxing and lassoing? This is the Csikvarsa Pentathlon, a competition for children and adults alike involving traditional games of skill.

The varied Nature Park is the Hollywood of the Vértes. The magical flora and fauna, the wonderful meadows and fields dotted with flowers has been the scene for many adverts, historical films and series. Have you spotted them in the films Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia, Hercules, The Adventurers, When we get old, Monte Carlo, and Witch-hunt or Till the end of times?

This city is for royalty – and for school trips as well!

This city is for royalty – and for school trips as well!

Is it really historic, sacral, cultural, traditionalist, active and even interactive? Székesfehérvár can give something new and unique for all ages. Our city is a “mandatory” destination for school trips so we are prepared to welcome groups from schools. Variety and sophistication – high-level museum education!

The first trip must lead to the ruins of the former coronation basilica, to the National Memorial Site and to the archaeological exhibition of the King St. Stephen Museum. Following this we can begin to discover the city which will be exciting and full of experiences with our unique offers.

For primary schools we offer an adventure to the fabulous world of a special museum. The unbelievably rich collection of the Hetedhét (Behind the beyond) Toy Museum not only allows us to catch a glimpse into the original bourgeois milieu but also takes students to a real dream world. The toys of the girls are completed by different puzzles and board games while the boys can find soldiers, ships and engines. The drawers under the display cabinets conceal exciting tasks; games and enthusiasm guaranteed!

For secondary schools we offer a little history of wars. In the Garrison-Historical Collection of Relics an unrivalled exhibition tells us the most important military events of this county from the 1848-49 war of independence up to this present day.

Our strength is museum education. The class can choose the most suitable from our various exciting and creative programmes in the areas of art, history and tradition. We recommend the programmes of the Korona (Crown) Park for all ages amongst them the most favourite one the Living Illustrated Chronicle elaborating on the history of the city. The interactive street theatre tells an entertaining story about the historical events that are part of the local and Hungarian legends following the scenes found in the Illustrated Chronicles.

And the extra is: a treasure-hunt with a smartphone, coronations and battles in digital costumes at the Kinect games-corner. It is worth timing the programmes so that one can get from the Toy Museum to the Korona Park and back with the sight-seeing street-train.
