Stage 5 (Balatonalmádi - Veszprém, 144 km) 17 May 2026

Start: 17 May 2026 (Sunday) 13:00 (CET), Balatonalmádi, Wesselényi Beach
Finish: ~16:30 (CET), Veszprém, Jutasi Road
Elevation gain: 1870 m

The 47th Tour de Hongrie will conclude on May 17 with an unpredictable stage reminiscent of Belgian one-day races. The venue will be the "European Capital of Sport" – a title awarded to Veszprém and the Balaton region for 2026. The competitors will have to tackle the steep climb of Szentkirályszabadja (2.1 km; 5.6%) twice and Gella (3.6 km; 5.4%) four times between Balatonalmádi and Veszprém. Despite the short distance of only 144 kilometers, the stage has an elevation gain of almost 2000 meters, and with three Intermediate Sprints, it offers ideal terrain for early attacks.

Balatonalmádi is one of the most important tourist centers on the northern shore of Lake Balaton. The town has previously hosted a stage start on one occasion: in 2018, the first stage following the prologue in Siófok started from the northeastern tip of the "Hungarian Sea."

Veszprém is the only town on this year's route that also hosted Tour de Hongrie in 2025. Four prologues, four starts, and two finishes have been held in the "City of Kings" so far. Zoltán Remák (2005) won the last prologue here, while Tibor Valter (1996) won the last road race.
