The fun doesn't end with summer—here's how to spend a day in Veszprém this fall

Although it’s officially September already, Indian summer is still in full swing—but we understand if, after a summer of beach trips and relaxation, you’re looking for a little variety. Fortunately, even as fall approaches, there are plenty of exciting events to choose from in Veszprém. 

Whether it’s about family getaways, cultural enrichment, or a special culinary adventure, we’ve compiled a list of events that are a great choice any time of year, whether you’re setting out on your own, as a couple, or with your family.  

House of Arts Veszprém welcomes visitors with its exhibition spaces featuring contemporary and historical exhibits, while the castle district offers a truly unique atmosphere. In addition, House of Arts has a total of seven exhibition spaces, and in addition to the permanent collections, it also serves as a venue for temporary exhibitions, conferences, festivals, and literary events. 

Dubniczay Palace,  will host special programs and exhibition openings on September 5–6 under the title 200 Years of Photography, while at the Modern Art Gallery - Vass László Collection, you can view Bertalan Varga’s INTERLUDIUM solo exhibition, which is based on a systematic presentation of two groups of works created over the past three years. 

One of the region’s best-known cultural institutions is Laczkó Dezső Museum, which showcases the history of Veszprém, the Bakony Hills, and Lake Balaton, natural treasures, and ethnographic heritage. It’s worth returning to the museum even if you’ve visited before, since, in addition to the permanent exhibition titled Time Machine, the temporary exhibitions always have something new to offer. The Backyard Goals temporary exhibition runs through December 20, where soccer fans can get a closer look at the authentic atmosphere of village soccer fields. 

Are you curious about the history of the greatest Hungarian geniuses and their inventions? would you like to set out in search of the hidden sounds, are you interested in the Berry and Dolly fairy tales, or perhaps you’d like to lose yourself in Vasarely’s world, rich in colors and shapes?

CODE 3D Studio also features screenings, where you can choose from six exciting themes, while the interactive exhibition area, you can discover the fascinating possibilities of technology and the digital world in a fun and entertaining way. Feel like getting a little exercise or playing a game? CODE Play offers exciting games for all generations, while Flow & Balance offers immersive yoga and Body in Light offers immersive Pilates classes where you can unwind and find yourself.  

If you’re looking for a truly unique historical site, be sure to visit the Dungeon Visitor Center as well! The exhibition, housed in the former prison of Veszprém Castle, explores the themes of crime and punishment, while the period-accurate cells and spaces create a truly unique atmosphere.  

Last-minute HelloVEB tip: until September 6 you can still check out Zoé Szilágyi s Art Sets You Free exhibition: the popular artist’s paintings are at once raw, sensitive, and sincere, and the punk spirit, combined with the unique atmosphere of the Dungeon, offers a completely different exhibition experience than what you might be used to in a traditional gallery.  

If you’re looking for exciting indoor activities to do with your kids, fortunately there’s plenty to choose from in Veszprém. For fairy tale lovers, for example, Kabóca Puppet Theater, where family performances await kids all year round. It’s worth checking the current schedule from time to time, as guest performances and special productions are regularly featured. 

If you're looking for a more relaxing and truly creative activity, check out Eötvös Károly Library — Children’s Library also offers story times, arts-and-crafts workshops, and kids' programs that provide a pleasant way to unwind. 

How about a little exercise? Veszprém Sports Swimming Pool might be the perfect choice! A quick swim or a dip in the water not only tires the kids out, but also offers an active and entertaining program.

A day filled with cultural adventures is the perfect opportunity to sample some of Veszprém’s exciting culinary delights. The downtown area is brimming with places where you’ll find not only delicious food and drinks but also a unique atmosphere. 

If you’re planning a long brunch or a specialty coffee break, KUNSZT! is a great choice: in addition to the breakfast spot, there’s a design shop, gallery, and community space, so you can easily linger there until an exhibition or event ends. 

If you’d rather relax with a glass of wine, head to Wine & Vinyl Bar & Store, where wines from Lake Balaton, tapas, and vinyl records come together to create a unique combination. 

If you're in the mood for something sweet, the Füge Coffee & Ice Cream Parlor is a great choice! Homemade pastries, quality coffee, and a friendly atmosphere—that’s why it’s worth stopping by not just in the summer, but all year round. 

And if you’re looking for an exciting spot for the evening that offers a huge selection of drinks, Pekedli is the place for you—it regularly hosts quizzes, concerts, and other cultural events. 

Although Veszprém-Balaton Film Picnic has come to an end, Foton Audiovisual Center regularly features art films, documentaries, and community film screenings on its program, while Hangvilla welcomes culture lovers year-round with concerts, theater performances, and family programs. 

Veszprém offers plenty of experiences even in the fall, but it’s also worth checking out other destinations in the Bakony-Balaton region if you’d like to spend your days doing something meaningful. An inspiring exhibition or a special museum visit in the city, a quiet day on the shores of Lake Balaton, or an adventurous hike through the Bakony forests—it’s up to you where you start!
