The 14 best things to do with kids in Szeged

This is my second time here. The exhibition is amazing, the facilities are spotless, and the entrance fee is quite reasonable. It’s a perfect spot for a family outing with kids.”

Must visit place, the biggest zoo in Hungary, paradise for animals, there is so many of them. You need a good 4 hours to see all. It is divided into continents and animals are positioned accordingly. The most important, excellent environment for all beings and few rare animals to see.

Absolutely loved it, beautiful gardens, lots of nice benches to take a break and enjoy the gardens and wildlife, a real highlight of our stay in Szeged

This is one of the best place you can visit in Szeged . It doesn’t require to purchase the ticket and you can visit it also during the weekend. Its started in 1913 but is not completed during to World war 1 , then is completed on 1930 which is make it one of the oldest church. Its so beautiful and you have to visit it .

During our Avalon river cruise, we came at Pecs for some time. Our first stop was Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. The second stop was this beautiful square right in the center of old town. This square has got a very long history behind it. The main attractions were Mosque of Pasha Kaszmin Gazi, Statue of Janos Hunyadi and Holy Trinity beside City Hall, Council Hall and Zsolnay Fountain. Our guide explained to us briefly about everything. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants around. The entire square was a pedestrian zone which added to its beauty. One could chill around here for hours together. Don't miss it...

Nice fountain in the middle of the city. It changes intensity and has different running themes. Around you can sit on the stairs and a bit further you can have a nice cup of coffee or cocktail. 😊

The Szeged Eye in front ot the Cathedral

A beautifully Ornate building the National Theatre of Szeged is one of the many beautiful buildings in Hungary reminding us all of the Grandeur of the past when buildings where pieces of art.

A must here in Szeged. If you love water and sun, you need to visit. I bought the full day ticket. Bought an extra Spa massage. All the pools, interior and exterior have warm water so, no worries about the atmospheric temperature being cold. Well, today, 3th of May 2025 the air temperature was 30°C. Great for families, couples, lovers...even for a lonely soul like me. Highly recommended.

Good place to organize events. Amerian center is in this building.

A great place for trying out the a variety of dairy products. Quite cozy, and a good choice for groups.

Good atmosphere, excellent and original puzzles, pleasant hosts. Greetings to colleagues. Come and try our Escape Room games :)

The Pick Salami Factory, founded by Márk Pick in 1869 and located by the river Tisza in Szeged, is the largest brand-named meat industry in Hungary. It produces nearly 50,000 tons of meat each year, which includes Salami, Dried Sausage, Cold Cuts, Liver Paste, Frankfurter and Unique Pork Products, and exports to 35 countries. Within the premises is its two floor Pick Salami/Paprika Museum that tells the story of the Pick family and how Salami came to be in Hungary from its homeland of Italy. The story of Paprika is also told. The stories are told using photos and tableaux (doll figures representing a certain scene in the story) and via their online Written Guide. The first tableau for example, next to the museum entrance, shows a portrait of Márk Pick, his son Jenõ Pick and their biographies while the following tableaus (also on the first floor) show the developing stages of the meat industry and salami production after World War I. On the second (upper) floor the history of Szeged Paprika and its production is told. Just around the corner of, but still within, the factory is a small meat shop (Pick Húsáruház - Maros Utca 21) that sells discounted sausage, salami varieties, slabs of bacon and buckets of offal. You also get 10% discount on Pick Wintersalami when you present the 10% Discount voucher given to you when you paid the museum entrance fee. I found the Pick Museum to be one of Szeged's best tourist attractions in terms of them having an excellent website (in English) that told their story well, downloadable PDF guides in many languages (including French, German, Spanish and Italian), excellent customer service, a friendly welcome to the museum and an overall layout of the museum that made my visit a pleasant and interesting experience. When I visited there were many individual visitors and school tours that were genuinely taking interest in the stories (reading all the storyboards, etc). The actual family story, as well as the salami and paprika stories, are interesting and well told. As you go around the exhibits and read the various stories you become aware of the 'old fashioned' (non-technology) days whereby hard work was required to make a company successful. The storyboards tell of the various dissection and maturing processes needed for the meat, drying and string processes need for the paprika, the importance of the air-conditioning/cooling systems needed to produce all year round products (once seasonal products only), the need for modern technology/techniques and the huge importance of the soil, fertilisation and the river Tisza. If you are interested in knowing more about Szeged's history and/or want to know the fascinating story of something you would not normally take an interest in, I can highly recommend a visit to the Pick Museum. You only need 45-60 minutes, so it will be a nice excursion tour. I certainly enjoyed and appreciated their well presented exhibition and I am sure you would too. THE DIRECTIONS The pick salami museum is located close to the embankment of the river Tisza, not far from the Novotel (a 3 Minute walk). Trams #3 and #4 and bus #20 pass-by the Novotel (tram stop: Glattfelder Gyula Tér). You might go past the museum entrance by mistake, thinking it is a pub entrance or "that can not be it, surely", so look out for an entrance with the MÚZEUM sign within its doorway. The actual museum exhibition rooms are on the left-side. On the right-side of the main entrance is the Pick Pub/Restaurant, with function (events) rooms upstairs. When I visited there was a big event taking place upstairs, so do not make the 'tourist' mistake of going upstairs to view the function rooms just in case there is a funeral or wedding reception taking place for example.

Nice location next to the museum, very enjoyable in the evening. There was a music water show with classical music that unfortunately got messed up by the super loud generic clubby music from the bar/restaurant under the bridge (Barka) which covered the classical music and broke the water show’s appeal.
