SZOLNOK PORTAL ACCESSIBLE VERSION

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the virtual display of the town Szolnok.

Today, in the world of Internet it takes only a few clicks to get to distant places. Our town is situated in the heart of the Great Hungarian Plain where the river Zagyva meets the river Tisza. The inhabitants of the town are proud of its nearly thousand years of history with good reason. Life in Szolnok was never too easy, people always had to struggle hard for their living. Sometimes wars, sometimes epidemics devastated the population but the people could always overcome their problems.

Our town is rich in natural resources, the most important of which are the two rivers with their natural environment and the abundant resources of unique thermal water. In the future we will make considerable efforts to make our resources available and useful for everyone.

People living in Szolnok are very self-conscious and they always do their best for their town. We will rely on this great power in making our town comfortable and pleasant for everyone. Although our development plans are for the long run, it is worth to get in contact with us, the people of Szolnok, not only by the Internet. Come here and feel the enchanting atmosphere of the Tiszaliget, take a walk on the long promenades along the Zagyva and Tisza rivers, take a boat-trip on the fair river, enjoy the medical bath in Hotel Tisza. Get acquainted with us, it will be worth your while! Come here and take part in cooking on open fire at the Goulash Festival, a great and unique gastronomical festival held in our town. You will find peaceful, warm-hearted and friendly people here who welcome guests cordially.

Looking forward to meeting you personally, with kind regards,

Ferenc Szalay
Mayor
