Csongrád-Csanád

A county in southeastern Hungary, featuring the "City of Sunshine", Szeged, paprika cuisine and Tisza River scenery.

Csongrád-Csanád County lies on the Great Plain in southeastern Hungary, bordering Serbia to the south and Romania to the east, with the Tisza and Maros rivers meeting at its seat, Szeged. Szeged is a sunny university city with Art Nouveau architecture and the twin-towered Votive Church; its summer open-air festivals are well known, and the local paprika and salami are famous throughout the country. Ópusztaszer National Historical Memorial Park tells the story of the origins of the Hungarian nation. Spring, summer and autumn are all good times to visit, and Szeged is a little over two hours from Budapest by train.
