Balaton Uplands among the best places in Europe

Mastercard has compiled a list of 'Europe's hidden treasures' with Balaton Uplands, the area along the northern shore of Lake Balaton (referred to as the “Hungarian sea”), Central Europe’s largest freshwater lake, in Western Hungary, making it to the list in position 15.

As the compilation says the "Balaton-Uplands are Hungary’s version of Provence or Tuscany combining natural beauty and spectacular views of the lake, tiny villages with century-old whitewashed houses, and picturesque restaurants and guesthouses - all at very reasonable prices."
