  • Holiday home on stilts - Szeged
    Holiday home on stilts
    by GillianMcLaughlin
    On the banks of the river Tisza there is a small collection of houses on stilts. I was fascinated by them when I spotted then from the opposite bank of the river. My hosts explained that they were used mainly by people as holiday homes. Many of the owners are actually locals and they come down to stay on the river in the summer, in an effort to avoid to some degree the crippling summer heat of Szeged.

    Szeged is most famous for its culture, including its various institutions of higher education. The city has a museum of history which attracts about 350 thousand visitors each year, art galleries, movie theaters, dancing clubs, discos, a recently remodeled theater where outstanding performances are presented. During the summer the open air theater in front of the Cathedral attracts over 4000 spectators each night to special opera and musical performances. The Szeged Opera and Ballet Company and its Symphony Orchestra provide a full season of productions. The program for the summer performances can be viewed here. Adjacent to these performances folk festivals, exhibitions, sports events (including speedboat races and regattas on the world class rowing course) and the hospitable swimming pools and beaches make Szeged a desired holiday spot. Szeged has a very extensive library (Municipal Somogyi Library), with about 1 million volumes of books and periodicals, many of them in English, German and French. The universities in Szeged also have specialized libraries. The Central Medical Library contains 138.000 books and periodicals and has a direct medline connection with the European medical data-banks.

    Szeged is a beautiful town of Hungary. It has a great history. It was the favorite city of many kings and more famous persons.

    There was a big flood there in 1879. 151 people died on that nite and 5585 houses have broken down. Many nations helpt to them and rebuilt the the city and now this is more than beautiful.

    There are many noteable places there i like them all. I walked around its streets, i think i know them and im proud of them all.

    Szeged provides a full-season cultural program, the 'Collegium Artium,' which is a wide-ranging series of lectures on various topics of art, literature and music.

    Szeged has a very extensive library (Municipal Somogyi Library), with about 1 million volumes of books and periodicals, many of them in English, German and French. The universities in Szeged also have specialized libraries. The Central Medical Library contains 138.000 books and periodicals and has a direct medline connection with the European medical data-banks.

    Among others Szeged has produced many world class swimmers, great chess players, powerful weightlifters. The list virtually goes on and on. The city is also host to many world class races. In 1998 for example Szeged was host to the Kayak-Canoe World Championships!

  • Strange to be on the camping ground next to our 'enemies' of only a few months before, the Yugoslavians. Nice people, by the way.

  • visit the Dom square. This is the very centre of the town. Taste the fish soup (this is a kind of chowder) in a restaurant - for e.g. in the 'öreg kőrössy' or the 'Fehértói' restaurant, these are quite famous in the town.

    Szeged is a real student city. There is a big university, with approx. 10'000 students. So there are a lot of events all through the year. The most famous event is the Summer Outdoor Theater in july and august.
