The Gold Coast in Siófok is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches and the place where Lake Balaton officially starts. The town itself is often called the capital of the southern shore. It is a great destination, not just due to the unique beauty of the beach and the countless events hosted here, but also because it is an excellent starting point for a variety of excursions around Lake Balaton.

Read on for a bit of inspiration: we’ll give you a taste of the attractions and hiking spots you should definitely check out in the spring. Rest on the Gold Coast in Siófok, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and explore all the exciting local activities.

Time to conquer the Lake Balaton region

If you visit Lake Balaton in the peak season, then your holiday will probably be defined by splashing around in the water or trying to hide from the heat. Come in the spring for an opportunity to discover a completely new side to the area. The Gold Coast in Siófok shows a different face in this season. Everything is fresh and green and the weather is pleasantly warm, so getting out and about, hiking or embarking on a bike trip will seem much more appealing.

Siófok, a town with a thousand faces

Gardens and flowers

The Gold Coast in Siófok is just an easy walk away from the town centre, which boasts beautiful, green parks. The history of Siófok’s gardens goes back a long time, and these carefully maintained areas continue to bloom in a rainbow of colours to this day.

The Water Tower

The Siófok Water Tower has undergone significant renovation in recent years, so not only is it open to visitors now but it also acts as an exhibition space. The local Tourinform office is located at the bottom of the tower, and provides useful information and directions to those looking for activities and current events. Climbing to the top of the Water Tower, you can enjoy breathtaking and unique views of the town and Lake Balaton.

Attractions and events

It’s definitely worth setting some time aside for lazy springtime walks, exploring the parks, visiting the local churches, villas and other buildings, as well as the port, because all these attractions are part of history and continue to enchant visitors with their beauty to this day.

Family activities nearby

If you are travelling with children, you should definitely schedule a couple of adventures to complement your days of relaxing because young holiday-makers are always hungry for new experiences. There are plenty of options for family-friendly activities nearby. One of our favourites is Bella Animal Park, where you can get up close and personal with a variety of animals, and you can even enjoy a carriage ride or hop in the saddle of a horse or a camel.

It can be difficult to find the right activity when you are travelling with older children, who are no longer fascinated by a playground but still need physical activity. There are still plenty of options you can choose from without even having to leave the resort, thanks to the sports facilities of Aranypart Camping & Apartments. And if your child is up for something more extreme, you should play a visit to FGXTREME Skate Park in Siófok.

Bike trails and on-site bicycle rental

The Gold Coast in Siófok is the perfect starting point for exploring on bikes. You can rent a bike at the campsite and holiday resort, and all you have to do then is pick your destination. You can visit neighbouring Zamárdi to enjoy the fantastic views from Kőhegy Lookout or, if your fitness level allows you to take longer trips, you should check out the Sphere Lookout in Balatonboglár. Wherever you may roam, you will be greeted with heavenly comfort, delicious food and a genuine Lake Balaton idyll when you return to the campsite.

In order to be truly refreshed in body and mind on a holiday, you have to pack it full of new experiences. But in order to make the most of these experiences, you need a comfortable home base where you can relax after a busy day spent out and about.

Choosing the right accommodation is always the key to a great holiday, and that includes off-season getaways, too. Aranypart Camping & Apartments is the ideal choice in the spring, because this is definitely the season to be as close to nature as possible.
