After the flood of 1879, the people of Szeged made a vow: if their city was rebuilt, they would construct a large church. The foundation stone of the Szeged Cathedral was laid in 1914, and it was finally completed in 1930. It is the fourth largest church in Hungary and the only one built in the 20th century.

The Dömötör Tower is the oldest building in Szeged. Its foundation was most probably laid during the 11th century, while the lower part was built in the Romanesque style from the 12th century, and the upper part in the Gothic style from the 13th century. It stands in Dóm Square, in front of the much larger Votive Church.

This is Hungary's second-largest and Europe's fourth-largest synagogue. Thanks to its excellent acoustics and 1340 seats, it regularly hosts classical and popular music concerts. One of the most striking features of the synagogue is its stained glass windows, designed by the famous Hungarian stained glass artist Miksa Róth. 

The Reök Palace is an Art Nouveau building, which was designed by Ede Magyar and built in 1907. Nowadays, it hosts exhibitions of modern fine arts and is also home to the elegant and cosy Reök Artisanal Pastry Shop and Café, which is well worth a visit.

This was the first water tower in the country made completely of reinforced concrete. Inside the tower, there is a Foucault pendulum demonstrating the rotation of the Earth, an exhibition of colourful soda water bottles, and an exhibition on the history of physics.

The Botanical Garden of the University of Szeged is divided into different parts based on geographical areas, showing the flora of Hungary, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean, both freely and in various greenhouses.

The Szeged Open-Air Festival is Hungary's largest open-air theatre (4000 seats) and one of the most important summer theatre festivals in Central Europe. It offers a unique diversity of genres even among European theatre festivals, with opera, operetta, musicals, prose, and symphonic music.

The slightly spicy fish soup is traditionally made in a kettle using at least four types of river fish (mostly carp, catfish, sterlet, and pike). "Szegedi halászlé" is more than just a dish; it's a celebration of the riverine lifestyle and the rich fishing traditions of the Tisza River. 

This is a women's slipper with red butterflies and knock-off heels. For a long time, it was an important accessory of the folk costume of Szeged. The product was made with a wide variety of motifs and decorations, but its structure was the same, durable and able to withstand heavy use.
