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.
3. Dom Square
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 252 reviews
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.

This famous building is located in the centre of the town. It has a special architecture with an interesting roof with Zsolnay- ceramics. Outside and inside of the building you can see statues and portrait of Hungarian historic people: leaders and kings. You can hear the chime every hour. We were lucky to go into the main hall where wedding ceremonies are held. We have seen the fantastic paintings on the walls.
5. Mini Magyarorszag

The newest model park, 'Mini Magyarorszag' is situated in Szarvas, in the middle of historical Hungary. In the only model park of Hungary you can wander through the whole country within several hours, and see the well-detailed models of Hungary's most beautiful and emblematic buildings. The park is surrounded by Arboretum of Szarvas, which is a very beautiful natural place.

Whoever is a bit interested in Hungarian history and goes around the area, it is worth spending some time here. The models are very detailed in a fairly large area for up to hours to look at. If you’re not arriving by car it’s a little complicated to get out here but it’s not impossible. Great time for families, couples or alone. Do not miss it. It’s advisable to buy a combined ticket includes Arboretum as well.

Our family was visiting family in Gyula and strolled by thud castle late one cold December evening after it was closed. Gyula castle has a lovely setting and seems like it would be well worth visiting. At night it is beautifully illuminated and there is a pool of water right in front the compliments the solid brick fortress.
