Walking one ring road and passing through half of Europe is the strangest and best thing about the city plan.\r\nWhat is hal\u00e1szl\u00e9? | Hungarian fish soup \u2014 freshwater fish, usually carp, in a deep red paprika broth, cooked and served in a small kettle. Szeged considers its version definitive and the rival claim from Baja is an argument people will happily have with you. A portion is about \u20ac8 to \u20ac13.\r\nWhat is the open-air festival? | Opera, musicals and theatre staged on D\u00f3m Square in front of the Votive Church through July and August, running since 1931. It is the largest open-air theatre in Hungary and the cheap seats are genuinely cheap.\r\nIs it a good border crossing point? | Yes.
