Local Information

Veszprém, is a middle-sized historical town, situated between Lake Balaton - Hungary's largest lake - and the slopes of the Bakony hills, in the mid-west of Hungary.

Quiet narrow streets and bells that always toll. Modern houses with green lawns at the foot of the old castle walls, covered with ivy. Romantic summer evenings with wind that never stops. Deep arches and towers reaching to the sky. Hills and valleys. Veszprém is worthily famous for its vibrant cultural life. The programmes and events provide a tailor-made entertainment for all ages and for residents and guests of all interests. The hard work of the last years has been accomplished, by the decision of the professional jury and the Government of Hungary, Veszprém and the Lake Balaton region can host the title of the European Capital of Culture in 2023.  Veszprém is the UNESCO City of Music where world famous stars (like Al Dimeola, Paco de Lucia, Bobby McFerrin, Katie Melua, Joss Stone, Norah Jones) have walked our cobblestoned streets for almost a decade. Opera, jazz, soul, swing and instrumental guitar music: the most different musical styles and genres form a coherent entity in the frame of VeszprémFest (veszpremfest.hu).
