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.
Jelena
