Link to the Show / Show NotesIn our second episode on the Hungarian city of Szeged, we rub elbows with the locals at the Szeged Wine Festival, which was bustling and has no entry free – yea! We also drank a gorgeous glass of Villanyi Cuvee there.
Be sure to visit the Reok Palota, a regional modern art center located in a gorgeous secessionist structure. We also visited Szeged’s ornate and imposing synagogue.
The Anna Thermal Baths have been nicely renovated and the entry fee won’t break your budget – go on a weekday and you’ll have the whole place practically to yourself. Line up with the locals to drink some stinky water from the Anna thermal spring, which is just a little hop from the thermal baths.
Be sure to eat some fisherman’s soup or catfish paprikas at the Kiskorosi Halaszcsarda, which is a popular fish restaurant that started out as a tiny cottage sitting right on the bank of the Tisza River.
Finally, Szeged has a load of parks where you are accompanied by a number of atmospheric statues. This city is a wonderful and less expensive place to wander around but never feel lost.
