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.

Szeged Synagogue

Reviewed By 545medva - Budapest, Hungary

If you are in Szeged you must visit this church. It is large and beautiful. The decorations inside and outside are excellent. Around the building there is a small park. The synagogue was built in 1902 and heavily damaged in the II. world war. Today it is done a lot to renovate completely.

Votive Church

Reviewed By Laszlo57

The Votive Church in Szeged is one of the main attractions of the town. It's placed on one end of a large square, where they have summer theater events every year (you should visit a performance is you have a chance). The church itself is not an old one, but it has an atmosphere to it. The walls are not marble covered, but the style and the paintings have some oriental touch. We have visited a mass and the feeling was not much different from that of any famous Gothic cathedrals. If you are in Szeged you should go and visit the the church.

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.

Napfenyfurdo Aquapolis

Reviewed By DavidLomas69

Really great indoor waterpark. We had just come from the famous indoor waterslide and thermal baths at Erding Munich, and this was so much better. No queues, and the Anaconda Kamikaze was the craziest waterside I've ever been on - and that includes waterslides with free falls and 360 loops. So worth it if you are in Hungary in winter. Hotel Forras was a great hotel too, and Szeged was beautiful

I visited the Zoo with my family including 5 small children. We all had a great time together having seen plenty of animals from many different species. It is a great place that deserves a visit if you are in Szeged.

REOK - Regional Art Centre

Reviewed By MarriedAnd-Over-50 - Mission, Canada

There is a little place to sit right across. It is in downtown so the area is very popular and busy all day in the summer. Just looking at it makes you feel good. The colors are pastel soft, the details are just exquisite. If you have an opportunity to see inside do not miss. There is ice cream in the exterior and many coffee shops and restaurants along the side. It was designed by Ede Magyar, Art-Nouveau style.

Szechenyi Square

The western walls of the castle built on the bank of the River Tisza in the 13th century were situated in the present Széchenyi Square,while the barren field in front of them served as a main market square and as a practice area for the soldiers defending the castle.Following the Turkish occupation,when Szeged regained its former rights and rank of a free royal city,the City Hall,the administrative centre was built here too.The 19th century reshaped the square both in appearance and function:on the southern side majestic palces were built,then during the reconstruction following the Great Flood of 1879,the castle walls were pulled down.In place of them, ,eclectic style residential and public buildings were erected and parks were created.The square,covering more than 50000m2,is lined by ancient plane trees,magnolia flowers,empress trees and many other unique plants.Among them nicely made statues make us remember some of the influential figures in the history of the city,country.

The days were hot and this is an oasis in the middle of downtown. With large trees everywhere and benches to rest, this park was a very nice spot to sit and enjoy an ice cream. I went to the fountain many times to refresh my arms and neck from there. We took the trolley back to our lodging from there. That is where the little-city-train departs every hour. It is particularly busy when the sun goes down. You see couples,families, elderly coming to enjoy their City Park. Just a lovely site!
