| Budapest Győr | Kecskemét Miskolc | Szeged Székesfehérvár |
Szeged is a charming, beautiful city. It is also the sunniest place in Hungary. Formerly a centre of salt distribution, Szeged suffered a terrible catastrophe on the night of 12 March 1879, when the River Tisza flooded. Fewer than 300 houses withstood the damage and the town was entirely rebuilt to plans by the architect Lajos Lechner, who had helped remodel Budapest. While Szeged has necessarily been unable to keep all its old buildings, it is nonetheless a pleasant place to visit with its wide squares, parks and gardens.
