Hello Szeged, city of sun and water
Hello everyone. After traveling through the province of Vojvodina in the north of Serbia, which I wrote about in my previous posts, my husband and I continued to our final destination, which was Szeged, a city in Hungary just 20 km from the Serbian-Hungarian border.
We arrived around noon and checked into the Novotel hotel, which had a fantastic view from the terrace. I always find it inspiring to look at the streets of another city.
Our room was nice and clean and cost only 60 euros per night for the two of us in total.
Novotel is a nice 4-star hotel with very friendly staff.
We were hungry when we arrived, so we asked the receptionist to recommend a restaurant where we can eat traditional Hungarian food. The first recommendation was the Roosevelt restaurant and we headed there right away. The restaurant is located very close to the hotel and can be reached by walking along the banks of the Tisa river.
Actually, in Hungarian, this restaurant has a different name, but the locals also call it Roosevelt's.
The name is less important. What is important is that you can eat real traditional Hungarian food here.
I had goulash soup which was very spicy but pleasantly spicy and veal stew.
For dessert, we ate Hungarian "gundel" pancakes filled with walnuts and covered with dark chocolate. It was very delicious.
The first floor of the restaurant was very crowded, so we went down to the basement part, which looked like an antiquities museum.
In addition to the fact that you can eat good food here, you can also see a lot of Hungarian antiques and unique items.
Very close to the hotel is the Thermal baths Anna, an authentic Turkish bath, which we did not go to this time because we decided on another one. But next time we will definitely visit this one too.
In addition to the fact that you can bathe in this thermal water, you can also pour medicinal water for drinking, which has a beneficial effect on many organs, especially the digestive.
After lunch, we went for a walk and tour of the city, which I will write about in the next posts.
Thank you for reading.

Hey Jelena, your trip sounds amazing! But let’s talk about that goulash—“pleasantly spicy” or “set-my-mouth-on-fire” spicy? 😆 And those Gundel pancakes? If I ever visit, I might just skip sightseeing and camp out at Roosevelt’s! 🤣
Hahah that's hard to explain.🤣 It's very spicy, but you feel comfortable while eating, you don't burn.🤣 Gundel pancakes are perfect!
This my dream place to visit when I was 15 now I'm 27 keep dreaming to have visit like this place Hungary because I have a friend who lived in the hungary but can’t bring me there because he says that I don’t have enough money to go that kind of place even can’t afford the visa don’t know anything to go there.. I know I can someday but for now I try my very best to go more also other country its okay not bad of dreaming. 😊😊 I loved your place so much if I have a chance to go there I want to lived like that country and being a good people followed the rules and all.The surroundings is very quite nice to explore the buildings is so good foundation and their architectural designs are the best.
Hungary is a beautiful country, and I hope you get to visit one day! Keep dreaming and working towards it, traveling is always worth it. 😊
Interesting City to Explore
What a beautiful city and what wonderful views!! I also like the color of the pictures very much. The architecture of some places in this restaurant is similar to restaurants in my country.
There are similarities with my country as well. 😊 Where are you from? I'm glad you like it.
I am from Iran
Maravilloso. Gracias por compartir. Es la arquitectura echa poesía 💎
interesting appearance of the city.
That food looks super tasty! Great that you follow the advice of the receptionist!
And yes, Novotel is always a guarantee :)
It was our first time at Novotel and we really liked it. We will definitely go again. 😊
Still in that area of Europe you can feel peace, calm and beauty around, so beautiful place Jelena, thanks for sharing 🤗

I'm completely in love with its beauty—every scene is so captivating and stunning. It's so much enjoyment to view all the colorful landscape, quaint streets, and fantastical architecture that make the location so unique. There's something really unique about the way the city blends its culture, mood, and landscape, which makes it so enjoyable to discover. I cannot help but be stunned at how each nook of it has something to say. It's truly a place that gets to the heart!

The food looks great and the restaurant is nice, looking like a museum too.
Que lindas fotos, una más hermosa a la anterior.
Such a wonderful city in hungary. I wish i can visit that place.
The place blends tradition with modern energy offering a delightful mixture of culture, cuisine and stunning scenery. Oh! that thermal bath is therapeutic, nice to hear 😊
Stepping inside this restaurant makes you feel like you are in another era. It does not only offer scrumptious traditional dishes but also showcases antiques and unique artifacts. It is akin to a section of a museum. Some facade of the city structures look like the ones I saw in movies. One should not miss visiting this country when having a European tour.
Ohh Hungary I remembered when I was on my middle school, our classroom chose Hungary to represented in World's Nations Day. From that day I wished that someday I can visit such beautiful country hehe but until now I didn't huhu, Thank you so much for bringing this country here on Hive, where I can see it beauty even through picture.
