Széchenyi Square & City Hall
Széchenyi tér és Városháza
One of Hungary's largest city squares, shaded by trees, with a bright yellow neo-Baroque city hall and a 'Bridge of Sighs' connecting walkway that stand out.
Széchenyi Square covers about 5 hectares and is the central square of Szeged. Among the trees are statues of notable figures such as Széchenyi and Tisza, along with a sculpture symbolising 'The Tisza after the Flood.' The city hall on the western side of the square, rebuilt in 1883, is a bright yellow neo-Baroque building, connected to the neighbouring building by a small covered walkway that locals call the 'Bridge of Sighs.' It is said to have been built to welcome Emperor Franz Joseph. Cafés line the square, and it is free to visit.
