Railway station=vasútállomás,
Bus station=autóbusz állomás,
Restaurant=étterem,
Post office=posta,
right=jobbra,

Szent István Király Múzeum, Új Magyar Képtár (Megyeház u. 17)
This gallery of temponary exhibitions isn't far from the Main Squere. We were there to see the photo gallery of Lucien Hervé, a famoust hungarian-french photo artist. For the children there's an old MIG airplane in the garden, they'll love it. The exhibition is over, but the gallery convinced me. This is a photo made by Hervé and has nothing to do with Székesfehérvár.
