Siófok, Lakeside resort town in Hungary

The town stretches along 17 kilometers of Lake Balaton's southern shore, offering numerous beaches and water sports facilities for summer recreation.

Siófok emerged as a military outpost in 1552 during the Ottoman invasion and later transformed into a settlement with its first wooden church in 1693.

The Imre Kalman Museum, established in 1987, preserves the memory of the renowned composer through exhibits depicting late 19th-century artistic life.

The central location on Lake Balaton's shore connects to Budapest via the M7 motorway and regular train services from the main railway station.

The Siófok Water Tower features panoramic elevators that lift visitors high above the town for extensive views across Lake Balaton's waters.
