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.

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.
6. 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.

The Gyula Castle Spa is located in the 8.5-hectare park of the former Almasy mansion, which is now a nature conservation area. In all seasons, the certified health resort is an ideal resting place for tired and unwell persons as well as for young persons longing for recreation or having fun. The Castle Spa can take pride in altogether 20 pools and a wellness centre complex, the AquaPalace.

I always return with great pleasure to Gyula due to the excellent ,five stars thermal spa only a few kilometers away from the border to Romania ; for people travelling from Romania it is very convenient as it is the nearest after crossing the border ;the general entrance is 6000 HUF ,about 18 Euro including a locker ; an extra 4000 HUF must pay those who want to visit the Aquapalace ,an indoor pool with 3 waterslides and naturally thermal water ,a new building which was completed in 2013; the spa deserves its 5 stars rating due to the various pools with different thermal water,some pools have hotter water ,some pools not so warm; there also is a big pool with waves,an Olympic swimming pool with normal water ; there also is the old indoor pool with thermal water ; there also is a location with a circular pool with jacuzzi and with an artificial circular waterflow which carries you easily around the pool ; in this building there also is the wellness complex with saunas ,massage and fitness; concerning the catering ,there is a great variety of choices ; in the main building at the entrance there is a restaurant with tasty food and a good choice of food; a second restaurant is in the building with the circular pool and the wellness center ; in the summer season all over the compound there are lots of restaurants ,cafes and facilities serving not only a rich choice of main dishes ,but also pancakes,cakes,fried fish,icecream ,coffee and drinks,alcoholic and non alcoholic ;

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

In january 2012, our bath was extended with an organic bath building complex - which is unique in Europe, with the use of tender fund, by the designs of the Kossuth-prize winner architect, Imre Makovecz. So the indoor and the outdoor training pools, and the amusement pool are now extended with complex medical, wellness and family sections. Our guests longing for relaxation, regeneration, and wellness experiences, can chill out in a church-like beautiful amusement pool area, meanwhile they can admire the center-positioned, 10 meters high orcanic pillar, designed by Imre Makovecz, which is also the ornament of the area.

There a a lot of places to park your car. We visited in november and outside was pretty cold and rainy, but inside it was warm and the water is very clean. They also have a restaurant with good food. As far as I know they speak also english and romanian, they might know other languages, because there are a lot of foreign visitors. The kids can't wait to go there again :)
