1. Karasz utca
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 107 reviews
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.

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.

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.
4. 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.

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

The square was named after the piarist priest and teacher Andras Dugonics, the writer of the first Hungarian novel (Etelka, 1788). He was a language reformer, creator of numerous terms used in Hungarian mathematical language. His statue, which was erected from public donations, was the first statue in the public places of Szeged. The fountain opposite, inaugurated on the occasion of the centenary of the Great Flood in 1979. In the square the principal building of the University of Szeged, the early eclectic palace stands which was originally a secondary school. In front of the university we find the statue of Attila Jozsef, who was a student here between 1924 and 1925, and the statue of Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Nobel-prized scientist, who was named as an honorary doctor of the university on several times. At the corner of the square and Karasz Street stands the Unger-Mayer House, designed by Ede Magyar. The lead ladies dancing on the dome of the Art Nouveau palace.

We found a place to sit in the crowded shade area on one side of the fountain. Everyone wanted to be close to get a breeze from this lovely fountain. We enjoyed just looking at the configuration of the ever changing water flow. Just across the there is the Rector's Office of the University of Szeged, which used to be the polytechnic.
