Kecskemét

Popularly known as the 'Garden City', Kecskemét lies halfway between the Tisza and the Danube Rivers in the southern Great Plain. The city is blessed with lush vineyards, verdant orchards, and some of the finest architecture in Hungary. It is a great place to enjoy a refreshing break away from the concrete life amidst greens and fresh ambiance. From impressive Cifra Palota, Old Synagogue, and Town Hall (Art Nouveau and Secessionist buildings) to splendid museums like the Museum of Hungarian Naive Artists, the city has several ancient attractions to satisfy the history and architecture admirers.

On the other hand, the Kiskunság National Park is a haven for nature and wildlife lovers. Opportunities like hiking in the hills, horse shows at Bugac, or exploring the region's horse farms, or tasting the famous barackpálinka (apricot brandy), etc., make the trip to this city more exciting and fun-filled.

The weather in Kecskemét is tourist-friendly during the middle-year months when the average temperature lies between 16.8 °C to 22.9 °C. If you like snowy weather, the city also offers great opportunities from December to February. However, the best time to visit the city is during May, July, August, and September.
