To avoid the impending snowstorm in Ljubljana, we switched up our plans and decided Budapest was a safer bet. But the busy Christmas and New Year period meant almost everywhere was fully booked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a quick scan of the map, I figured heading south to Szeged could be an interesting alternative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I knew was that it was Hungary’s third-largest city that sits at the intersection of the Serbian and Romanian borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a university city, I figured it would be relatively quiet during the holidays, so I booked a few days and got on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n

We arrived to be greeted by blue skies and crisp, cool air \u2013 perfect conditions for winter sightseeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city was as quiet as I had predicted, with hardly anyone around. This tranquillity meant I could explore in relative peace, aligning perfectly with my preference for avoiding large crowds while travelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The serene atmosphere and gentle winter sunlight made Szeged’s streets even more inviting for a peaceful exploration. I couldn’t wait to get out and discover the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
