Veszprém is a wonderful little town with a perfect location so close to Lake Balaton. Castle Hill is it's most beautiful sight. A really pleasant walk for anyone. Take your time and give it at least half a day!

The old town is a nice jewel, worth for a 2-hour stop to see its beauty. People are friendly, so in case you get lost, they show you the way. The view from the castle is great. Surrounding houses need renovation, overall it is beautiful.

It is a great time to combine your Veszprem visit with the Festival. The castle area has plenty to see and the atmosphere is just great during this event. The city has improved a lot, I haven't been for over 15 years. The market has a great selection of veg and fruits with fair prices. It was more challenging to find a restaurant that you would go for right away if you look for a more demanding option. Just go for more simple options.

Filled with interesting historical sites and museums, one could spend a whole day up here exploring. There are also several restaurants and cafes.

Had really nice views and walks in the well maintained historic city centre.The small wine bar at the bottom of the hill leading up to the castle is a nice bonus with wines from local producers.Hope to come back one day.

A must see of the town always visited by tourists. However the whole castle inside is just a street, with nice buildings, that you cn not see inside. Recently some museums opened. I offer to walk arund the castle instead. It is more scenic form the outside.

One of the oldest part of Hungary. The castle, statute of Stephan the first and his wife Gizella, the fire tower, the prison (still operating), chapel of Gizella (built in the 10th Century) can be seen in one place. Interesting to see.

Lovely view of the town, but not suitable for someone who finds walking difficult. The statues here and in the town were wrapped in black plastic sheeting for the winter.

It's not much money to pay but take it as an adventure to walk up. It will lead you directly to Buda Castle anyways and it isn't really that high. Else, take the buses. Over there feel free to roam the hill and take some scenic photos but focus on the absolute musts and them get back to the Pest side. It's more interesting.

Buy the ticket that gets you into all the attractions - the palace is a living palace where the archbishop lives. Gorgeous private tour in English, amazing rooms, porcelain, art. See where Sissi and Franz Joseph visited. See the other 2 chapels (quick tours) amazing medieval history, check out the main church in the center of the square (St. Michael's I think) and visit a museum where they have religious icons. All for the price of less than $10 it's a steal and a fun walk back in time!
