Siófok has the very first Hungarian-made, 50-metre tall, mobile Ferris wheel available for visitors. There’s a beautiful view of Balaton from the open pods: you can see Tihany Abbey, the viaduct, Badacsony, the Balaton Uplands, Somogy-dombság, the water tower of Siófok and almost the entire lake during the 10-minute ride.
Tip: The ticket price for the wheel also provides access to the beach between 4pm and 7pm.
