The numbers also exceeded the indicators of last year's high season as well, Mayor Gyula Porga said in a summary of the first five months of the Veszprém-Balaton European Capital of Culture 2023 program.

Porga said that 14,370 guest nights were spent in Veszprém during April and May this year, which is 117% more than the data for the same period last year.

The number of guest nights nationally decreased by 3% in this period compared to the previous year, he noted.
