Keszthely, Lake city on western Balaton, Hungary.
The Festetics Palace stands as a grand baroque complex with its 101 rooms, occupying a central position near Lake Balaton's western shore.
During Roman times, the settlement served as a military outpost in Pannonia, developing into a regional center through consecutive centuries.
The Balaton Museum holds extensive collections documenting the region's archaeology, natural sciences, and the evolution of local communities since 1925.
The city maintains direct train and bus connections to Budapest, with services running multiple times daily from the central transportation hub.
The Helikon Library contains over 90,000 volumes, including medieval manuscripts and early printed books from the Festetics family collection.
