Si Chung: Adele Apartment has an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the main attractions, the mosque and the square, but the hotel is hidden in a small residential street and is very quiet and comfortable. The apartment is very well decorated, very tasteful and well maintained. The kitchen is fully equipped, except for the lack of a washing machine, which is a bit inconvenient. However, the hotel's laundry service is not expensive. The apartment has its own parking lot in the inner garden 🅿️The charge is reasonable, it seems to be 10 euros a day.

Guest User: The hotel isn't large, but the rooms were exceptionally clean and tidy, exceeding my expectations. The bathroom was spacious and very clean, much better than anticipated. It's very close to tourist attractions, all within walking distance. While the breakfast selection wasn't extensive, it was clearly well-prepared. Highly recommended!

Guest User: There are good and bad things, the bad part first: It's not worth getting full pension, as they serve the same food all week, with no variety but the taste is not bad. Plates, cutlery, glasses, and where the food is served are mostly dirty and poorly cleaned. Also when I took water from the machine for my daughter, it came out dirty, as the machine is not clean, so reccommend you to buy whater and soft drinks. There is no room cleaning, and the service is not good. The gym you need to pay. The good part is that the room is clean, no problems, and the wellness area is amazing and clean. In short, you get what you pay for in a 3-star hotel, but they could make an effort with the cleaning and service. I stayed for 5 days.

Kevintandesign: Nice location, good service. The only downside is that they didn’t provide any info on extra charges for extra person (which could have been used as room upgrade) Breakfast was OK with enough variety of foods.

WENJUN: The location of the hotel is excellent, the atmosphere of the century-old building is beautiful. But the problem with the old building was that the rooms were a bit small, but the two had enough luggage without any luggage. The room has a small refrigerator, electric kettle, slightly old furniture, and a thin layer of dust on the TV. What is interesting is that the toilet in the bathroom and the water pipe valve flush the water. It is the oldest I have ever seen, and it is quite easy to use. The shower in the bathtub can only be held by hand, and the water pressure is high. Breakfast was a bit surprising, and it is not uncommon for three-star hotels to have such a rich breakfast. Finally, praise the price of Ctrip, very powerful! ~

Step Into Subotica’s Synagogue: Serbia’s Art Nouveau Masterpiece 💫
Feast your eyes on the jaw-dropping Subotica Synagogue—the literal crown jewel of Subotica, Serbia! If you’ve never seen a building dripping in colorful Hungarian folk vibes *and* Jewish heritage, buckle up—because this spot is a total vibe. 🤩 Key Facts & Fun Vibes · Architectural Style: This absolute stunner is one of the best surviving icons of Hungarian Art Nouveau (aka Szecesszió). Expect bold, vibrant motifs—think flowers and peacock feathers—mixed in with classic Jewish symbols. It’s wildly unique! · Dream Team Architects: The masterminds? Budapest legends Marcell Komor and Dezső Jakab, both proteges of the “godfather” of Art Nouveau, Ödön Lechner. The Subotica Synagogue is straight-up architectural goals and a major piece of living history. The Epic Backstory Subotica Synagogue’s origin story is *kinda* like an underdog movie with plenty of plot twists. 👀 · Rejected but Resurrected: In the late 1800s, Komor and Jakab presented their ultra-modern blueprints at a Szeged, Hungary synagogue competition. The judges passed, saying it was too “out there”—but Subotica’s growing Jewish community saw genius and snapped it up! · Engineering Magic (1901–1903): By 1903, this place was Europe’s *second* largest synagogue. No boring pillars here—an innovative steel skeleton supports the epic dome, giving perfect views for all 1,400 worshippers. · Next-Level Art Nouveau: Forget plain bricks; this facade is all about Zsolnay ceramics, bold florals, and those iconic peacocks. It’s a sacred space with serious party energy. · Heartbreak & Hope: Before WWII, Subotica’s Jewish community was thriving, with 4,000+ people. The Holocaust brought unimaginable loss. The synagogue fell into ruin, was listed as endangered, but after years of restoration, it now shines brightly as a cultural hotspot and spiritual sanctuary. Sanctuary Squad Goals Step inside and you’ll hit peak interior inspo 💡: · Central Chandelier: Gaze up at this insane golden showstopper, sparkling under the dome. · Stained Glass Magic: Windows by the GOAT Miksa Róth spill rainbows across the benches—so dreamy, you’ll wanna stay forever. How to Visit This Show-Stopper Ready for your main character moment in Subotica? Here’s all you need to know! Location: Trg Jakaba i Komora 6, Subotica, Serbia Hours: Tuesday–Friday: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 AM–2:00 PM Closed Mondays + major religious holidays Tickets: 400 RSD (about $3.50–$4.00 USD). You can pay by card, but always have a bit of Serbian Dinar cash just in case. Dress Code: Keep it modest! Men—grab a kippah at the door for sanctuary visits. Photography: Snap away (no flash). Trust us—you’ll want these for the ’gram. 🌈 Walkable Art Nouveau Hotspots The Synagogue is right in Subotica’s dreamy historic core. Turn your visit into an Insta-worthy architecture stroll—everything’s just 5–10 minutes away! · Subotica City Hall: Another Komor + Jakab icon, famous for its rainbow rooftop and sky-high lookout tower. · Raichle Palace: Total fairy tale level—tile mosaics everywhere! Nowadays, it’s also home to the Modern Art Gallery. Pro-tip: Use trip.com to book your perfect Subotica stay and plan outrageously easy travel logistics. Trust, you won’t want to leave this architectural wonderland. #synagogue #serbia #serbiatravel #serbianheritage
Pécs Cantat: a Hungarian international choral festival
𝄞 Pécs Cantat 2026 is an international choral event that just took place from August 3 to 9, bringing together choirs, conductors, and music lovers from around the world. Pécs was once one of the host cities for the renowned Europa Cantat. ♫ This year’s festival combined masterclasses, concerts, mass singing, and cultural experiences to celebrate the powerful impact of choral music in this culturally rich Hungarian city. ♪ The festival’s highlight was a grand performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana at the Kodály Center, featuring hundreds of singers, soloists, and musicians in a breathtaking show. Beyond the main concerts, visitors could enjoy open-air performances and workshops throughout Pécs, experiencing a unique and diverse musical journey. (Image source: Pécs Cantat)
The four towering spires of Pécs Cathedral
Pécs Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul, commonly known as Pécs Cathedral, is located in Cathedral Square in the heart of Pécs. It is the city’s undisputed landmark and one of the oldest and most magnificent Catholic cathedrals in Hungary. 1. Stunning four-tower exterior Unlike typical European churches, Pécs Cathedral’s most eye-catching feature is its four massive square towers, each rising 60 meters high at the corners. This unique four-corner symmetrical Romanesque basilica style gives the entire building a castle-like, imposing, and solemn visual presence. 2. A millennium of history and the mark of the Turkish era The cathedral’s foundation dates back to the 4th century during the Roman Empire. It was officially built in the 11th century by Saint Stephen, the founding king of Hungary. It also could not escape the rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. During more than 150 years of Turkish occupation, this grand Christian cathedral was converted into a mosque. Its interior murals were whitewashed, and it was used as a military arsenal and stable. It was only restored as a Catholic cathedral after being recaptured at the end of the 17th century. The richly decorated Neo-Romanesque exterior seen today is the result of a major reconstruction in the late 19th century. 3. Interior highlights: a visual feast of gold and murals Stepping inside, visitors are often amazed by its splendor: Golden sanctuary: The interior features extensive gold leaf and vibrant red and blue tones. The main altar and dome shimmer under the lighting. Masterful murals: Several chapels inside the cathedral (such as the Chapel of the Virgin Mary and the Sacred Heart Chapel) were painted with exquisite frescoes by Hungary’s most famous 19th-century historical painters, including Lotz Károly. Grand pipe organ: The cathedral houses a huge pipe organ built by the renowned Hungarian organ-building family Angster, producing ethereal and powerful sounds. Opening hours Monday to Saturday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Sunday and religious holidays: 11:30 AM – 5:00 PM (closed to sightseeing visitors in the morning due to Sunday Mass) Special note: Some Saturday afternoons in summer may have shortened visiting hours due to weddings or special religious events; last admission is usually 30 minutes before closing. 2. Ticket prices Tickets can be purchased on-site or via the Pécs Diocese official website: Adult full price: 3,600 HUF (approximately CNY 73) Discounted ticket (student / senior / teacher): 2,900 HUF Tickets generally include access to the main cathedral hall, the underground chapel, and climbing one of the towers (the southeast tower) for panoramic views of Pécs.

In Page, I stumbled upon a Michelin-starred restaurant that had been there for many years!
While strolling through Page's Old Town, a small, unassuming shop on a street corner caught our eye. The storefront was tiny, easily missed if you weren't paying attention, but the Michelin logo was prominently displayed above the entrance—a recommendation for several consecutive years. This piqued our curiosity: how could such a small shop in such a small town earn Michelin's favor? Stepping inside, we discovered it was a café by day, serving Michelin-starred meals at lunchtime. We ordered a three-course set menu. The space wasn't large, but it exuded warmth—hand-folded origami cranes hung throughout, swaying under the lights, creating a cozy and artistic atmosphere. The three courses, from appetizers and main courses to dessert and coffee, were all made to order. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation elegant, and the taste surprisingly delicious. The service was also just right, unobtrusive yet attentive. With few seats and sparse customers, the entire space possessed a rare sense of relaxation—comfortable, leisurely, and at ease, like visiting a friend's house. This meal truly made us understand the "intrinsic value" of Michelin. It's not about ostentatious displays, but about the meticulous attention to every detail. No wonder it has been able to maintain its reputation in this small town year after year.
Around Pécs, (Hungary) at the foot of the Mecsek Mountains
Mecsek is a mountain range in southern Hungary. It is situated in the north of the city of Pecs. The Mecsek Hills consist of plateau-like block mountains of a broken, folded structure. Its basis is crystalline rock of Variscan origin surmounted by Triassic and Jurassic limestone and dolomite and Tertiary formations that form the main block. The climate is mixed and represents elements of the mediterranean and continental climate. The territory is home to 20-30 plant species which are unknown in other parts of the Carpathian Basin. If you just visit the mountain from Pecs you can find several lookout towers, Misina peak, TV tower, Kis-Tubesi lookout tower, Sos-hegyi lookout tower, Rauch Janos lookout tower, Eger-tetoi lookout tower. There are other sights nearby, Kanta castle old tower ruin, White well, Arpad cap etc. I did several nice hikes there. If you do night hiking be careful with the hunters. #centraleurope #forest #travel #lookout_tower
⛪ Pécs Cathedral – A Blend of History and Beauty
#postandearn #attractive Visiting Pécs Cathedral was a highlight of my trip to southern Hungary. Located in the heart of Pécs, this impressive Romanesque-Gothic church dates back to the 11th century and has been rebuilt and renovated multiple times, creating a stunning blend of architectural styles. Inside, I was captivated by the ornate frescoes, intricately carved altars, and colorful stained-glass windows. The cathedral’s peaceful interior provides a serene escape from the bustling city streets. Climbing the towers offers panoramic views of Pécs, including the charming squares and surrounding hills—a perfect spot for photography. Practical tips: The cathedral is easily accessible on foot from the city center. Entry to the main hall is free, while access to the towers requires a small fee. Morning visits are ideal to enjoy the quiet atmosphere and soft natural light filtering through the windows. For history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and travelers seeking spiritual beauty, Pécs Cathedral is a must-see landmark in Hungary. #CreateWithTrip #PécsCathedral #HungaryTravel
