Man on the dam – by bike (Mindszent – Szeged)

Man on the dam – by bike (Mindszent – Szeged)

Recently our friend group set out on the „Man on the Dam„ tour, which is the Mindszent – Szeged route along the embankment, about ~50 km. We decided to do it by bike, since walking 50 km would have been quite a lot (I’ve done it before, it really is a lot) without any preparation.

 

We took the 17:21 train from Szeged, which consisted of three carriages. Currently MÁV has a promotion where you can transport bikes for free on weekends. This was a bit problematic, since the three carriages could barely fit 8 bikes. Those who arrived after us (another group) couldn’t board the train because their bikes wouldn’t fit. (you could see on the poor conductor lady that she was about to cry from frustration)

Good places in Szeged – Part 1 (Bohém tanya)

Good places in Szeged – Part 1 (Bohém tanya)

I had the idea of collecting the entertainment venues in Szeged and sharing my opinions about them.

In this week’s post I’m putting Bohém tanya under the microscope, since I spent pretty much my entire week there and it became one of my favorite places, and I think it’ll become a regular spot in our friend group.

The backstory is that back in high school we used to visit the Pivo pub quite often, but to be honest it’s not a particularly good place (I’ll get into that in a later post). A buddy of mine suggested over the weekend that we check out the bohém garden, as it’s a pretty cool place. At first sight I „fell in love„ — the outdoor garden is spacious, there’s plenty of room, the atmosphere is great and there are always enough people, yet it’s not crowded. A bonus is that there’s a food stand right next to it, so while drinking beer you can order all sorts of goodies (pizza, gyros, etc.) if you get hungry. There’s an indoor area too, but it’s not worth using in the summer since it can get quite hot.
