Seventeenth-century chronicles tell of pilgrims descending on BALATONFURED to "camp in scattered tents" and benefit from the mineral springs. Some 30,000 people come here every year for treatment at the springs, mingling with hordes of tourists, giving this popular Balaton resort a distinctive, sedate air. Fured, as it is often called, is split into two, with the older centre a couple of kilometres away from the lake: here you'll find shops, churches and a market along its Baroque main street, Kossuth utca. Most visitors head for the resort area beside Balaton, whose centrepiece is the leafy Gyogy ter, with its sanatorium, springs and run-down nineteenth-century facades, leading down to a tree-lined lakeside promenade. On either side are beaches and a mix of modern hotels and antebellum villas.
