Révfülöp

Révfülöp is a town in Veszprém county, Hungary, located on the northern shore of the Balaton.

Révfülöp has existed since Medieval times, when it developed as a rév, or ferry crossing point, due to the proximity to the southern shore.

Subsequently, it became a viticultural colony of the nearby town Kővágóörs, and then a vassal land of the Tihany Abbey.

Further increases in boat and train traffic — Révfülöp sports a large railway station — have made the town a local commercial and professional center, with numerous specialty stores, restaurants, and hotels opening over the course of the 20th century as the number of vacationers increased.

The main historical attraction remains the old downtown and port, both featuring eclectic architecture evocative of the turn of the 20th century.
