Main Building of University of Debrecen

Reviewed By istvanj_12 - Debrecen, Hungary

The main building of the University of Debrecen was built bw 1927 – 1932. When inaugurated this was the third biggest building in Hungary after the Parliament and the Castle of Buda (both to be found in the capital). It is really monumental and still serves as the home of numerous University Departments and other establishments. Its central court, a multi-storey, glass-covered atrium is a unique sight and impresses the visitor being an internationally relevant architectural gem. It is home to the regular doctoral degree award ceremonies and other celebrations. It is worth just to take a stroll within the building, or around at the carefully manicured park. You are free to discover the many adjacent old or new buildings of one of Europe’s nicest university campus.

Varhegy

Lovingly restored after being reduced to rubble during World War II, this picturesque area is located in the heart of medieval Budapest, which is characterized by cobblestone streets, narrow alleys and lovely squares surrounded by baroque and classical buildings.

We decided to spend almost one day on the Buda side of Budapest and walk the hills of Buda Castle and see the beautiful attractions over there and also watch the beautiful views of Budapest from up there on the hills. The main attractions on the Buda side include Buda Castle, Hungarian National Gallery and Budapest History Museum, terraces of Fisherman’s Bastion, and Matthias Church. From our hotel in the city center, we could take a bus directly to Fisherman’s Bastion or walk. We decided to walk since we could see the beautiful Chain Bridge again and also walk up the Buda Castle Hills and see the panoramic views of the city. It took us about 45 minutes to walk from our hotel Moments to the top of the hills. It is of course hilly, but is a nice walk. On our way, we passed the Buda Castle, National Gallery and Budapest History Museum, Fisherman’s Bastion, and Matthias Church. These are all beautiful structures. We skipped going inside the buildings since we wanted to spend more time outside and see the views of the city. Of all these sites, the Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church are truly magnificent and we really liked Fisherman’s Bastion. The structures and the views from there are really fantastic. I will review Fisherman’s Bastion separately. The Matthias Church is an amazingly beautiful building. We did not go inside, but the outside structure is so colorful and pretty. All together, we spent about 4 hours walking the Buda Castle Hill and other attractions on the Buda side and took the bus directly from there back to the city center on the Pest side, about 15 minutes bus ride. The walk was very nice and we all enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend it.

Halaszbastya

Built during the 19th century for the Hungarian Millennium celebrations, this mock bastion features pointed towers and turrets, reminiscent of the fairytale castles in Disney World.

If you love pictures you certainly cannot miss the most popular selfie location...We had the perfect day on Buda side exploring the Budapest Castle grounds, followed by Fisherman's Bastions and the top of Buda where there is a beautiful garden and a stunning little village and church. The Buda sightseeing bus is the perfect way to get yourself to each stop without too much walking. When you get to the Fisherman's Bastions make sure to look at the views as long as take a selfie and group picture, the architecture is really beautiful. I would suggest going early so that you can appreciate the place without all the crowd. Pictures on @lessiaestil

Karasz utca

Szeged's main pedestrian street with many architectural masterpieces (for example: Kis Dávid Palota, Eisenstadter House, Várnay House), which can only be walked on foot. At the entrance from Széchenyi Square, stands a bronze pair of people dressed in a Renaissance carnival costume, welcoming the walkers to the pedestrian street. Perfect for strolling, people watching and window-shopping.

Very nice, clean high street. Especially it connects to Szechenyi square which is a nice small park location to sit down under the great ancient trees to hide from the burning sun even at the hot summer heat. Karasz street itself is full with nice terraces, bars, cafés, confectionary, restaurant, pubs.

Dom Square

The square with exactly the same area as the Saint Mark Square in Venice (12,000 m2), bordered by elegant, northern European style buildings, was designed by Béla Rerrich and built between 1928 and 1930. On the eastern and southern side there are university institutes, while the western side is lined by the buildings of the bishop’s palace and the college of theology. The National Pantheon, placed under the arcades, includes over a hundred statues representing the prominent characters of Hungarian history, sciences and arts. The Open Air Festival was first held in front of the Votive Church in 1931. In the past decades after the first, religious themed performance, an abundance of theatrical shows have been amusing the audience in the largest “star-roof theatre” in the country.

What a beautiful cathedral. Easily accessed and central to Szeged. We had a good look around inside and out climbed the 300 steps of the tower and visited the visitors center exhibition which was really informative and unusually the hungarian text was also in english. The square in front of the cathedral also houses the famous mechanical clock which was also quite unique and you can see the full clock movement twice a day at 12.15 and 18.45(CET). Check to make sure that it hasn't changed if you are visiting.
