Szolnok Attractions

 
Szolnok, 100km (62mi.) southeast from Budapest on the confluence of the Zagyva and the Tisza, is the most important center for transport and communication in the Great Plain (with a river port). The frequent devastation of the town means that little of historical interest remains, except for handsome 19th C streets in the inner town. The town is mainly industrial (railroad carriages, sugar, paper and shoe factories, chemicals). Szolnok is also a spa town.

The history of the town has for centuries been determined by its situation at a strategic crossing point on the Tisza - altogether it has been destroyed 17 times.
