Welcome to Veszprém - Hungary's first UNESCO City of Music
Veszprém is a beautiful hillside city of 60 000 in Hungary, a stone’s throw away from Lake Balaton, at the foot of the Bakony Hills. The city and its surrounding region is the proud bearer of the European Capital of Culture title in 2023.

This city welcomes music in all its forms: Veszprém hosts an outstanding number of concerts and music events while also paying special attention to traditional music and folk dance education, as well as music related tourism. For all these reasons, Veszprém was thrilled to have received the Music City title as a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The city is the first in Hungary and its broader region to receive this title.
