The City of Queens and a key hub of the 2023 European Capital of Culture program, Veszprém is the proud host of WOC 2027.
The cobblestone streets of the Castle District, the Baroque squares, and the vibrant atmosphere of the city center provide the perfect setting for a stroll, a coffee, or evening activities between races.
Explore the city between your runs – here, sport and urban experiences blend together naturally.
Lake Balaton – known as the “Hungarian Sea” – is just a stone’s throw away from Veszprém, making the lakeside relaxation easily accessible after your races.
Beaches, marinas, promenades, and stunning sunsets await you, whether you’re looking for a quick dip or a longer lakeside program.
At WOC 2027, the event is not just a competition – it’s a true summer experience.
The Balaton Uplands are a territory of discovery: volcanic monadnocks, vineyards, scenic lookouts, and charming small villages follow one another within just a few kilometers.
The varied terrain and the landscape of forested valleys are ideal for both hiking and cycling – it is no coincidence that they are a magnet for orienteers as well.
If you are looking for your own path beyond the courses, you are sure to find new favorites here.
