Szeged is a city located in southeastern Hungary, situated on the banks of the Tisza River. It is the third-largest city in the country and is known for its vibrant cultural scene, beautiful architecture, and academic institutions. Szeged is home to a community of researchers and scholars and the University of Szeged, which is renowned for its research in the fields of science, medicine, and technology.
One of the highlights of Szeged is the Szeged Open-Air Festival, a summer-long celebration of music, dance, and theater that attracts performers from all over Hungary and beyond.
The city’s architecture is also a major attraction, with many beautiful Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings to explore. The Votive Church of Our Lady of Hungary, located in the city center, is a stunning example of Hungarian neo-Romanesque architecture and is a must-see for anyone interested in religious history.
