Tihanyi abbey
The most famous monument of the Balaton highlands, the Benedictine abbey church, built on one of the high points of the Tihany peninsula, is clearly visible from many angles. The two-towered church, which has become a symbol of Tihany, is a gem of Hungarian Baroque. The Benedictine Abbey of Tihany was founded in 1055 by King Andrew I, in honour of St. Anos and the Virgin Mary, on the steeply sloping eastern edge of the volcanic mountain range of the Tihany peninsula.
Veszprém castle
The castle of Veszprém was built in the 10th and 11th centuries on one of the hills of the city, the Castle Hill. A wall running around the edge of the steep, rugged hillsides marks the site of the former fortress, where today historic buildings rise step by step. The visitor should not expect to see a classic medieval stone building with a thick wall, but instead a whole old-fashioned atmosphere and spirit of the castle quarter as he passes through the Heroes' Gate… The quarter, which has since been given a Baroque appearance, is the main attraction of the city. There are also great lookout points and important programme venues.

Herend porcelain manufactory
Since its foundation in 1826, the Herendi Porcelain Manufactory has been faithful to its tradition of producing handcrafted masterpieces. Porcelain used to be called "white gold", a privilege to own, a prestige, a coveted object, a value. From the raw porcelain mass, through the skilled craftsmen who disc and cast it, to the value-creating fires of the kiln and the finishing touches on the painting brush, the work is still done by hand in Herend. Honouring the value-creating work of the great forerunners, preserving their spirit, never leaving the path they set, and thus creating the values that are known and recognised in every inhabited continent of the world. This is how Herend Porcelain is born: a Hungaricum, part of the Hungarian Heritage.
