🇭🇺 Quit-Job Travel Diary - Day 8: Summer in Szeged 🍃

If you're spending more than 5 days in Hungary, hop on a 2-hour train to the sunny southern town of Szeged—where my alma mater, University of Szeged (SZTE), sits! ☀️ Weather: 300+ sunny days/year—basically a preview of Southern France’s glow! 🚞 Transport: • Train from Budapest Nyugati: Departs :53 every hour (no seat reservation needed for 2nd class). • Local trams/buses: Buy tickets onboard (500 HUF/ride) or opt for a day/72-hour pass. 🌿 Highlights: ⛪ Dom tér: Free-entry cathedral (remove hats inside!). 🖼️ Morá Ferenc Museum: Instagram-worthy white facade + riverside park. 🏛️ SZTE Main Building: Chill by the fountain like a local student. 📚 University Library: Glass marvel (public areas open to all). 🌉 Belvárosi Bridge: Sunset views over Tisza River + park strolls. 🍔 Food Recs: • Kélesztő: Seasonal brunch/lunch (caramelized bacon & egg toast = 🤤). • Kélesztő-Süti nem Süti: Whimsical cakes (same owners!). • Pizza E Pasta: Crispy thin-crust pizza + refreshing lemonade. #QuitMyJob #Hungary #Szeged #SlowTravel #StudyAbroad #EuropeanSummer #BudgetTravel
