Nyíregyháza
A tranquil and welcoming city with a patchwork of flowery squares and parks and the promise of pleasant strolls, Nyíregyháza is a city famous for its elevated culture of music and lively cultural life. The most valuable items in the Jósa András Museum (21 Benczúr tér) are the works of two artists from Nyíregyháza: the paintings of Gyula Benczúr (1844-1920) and the first editions of the works of novelist Gyula Krúdy (1878-1933).
Nyíregyháza-Sóstógyógyfürdő, accessible by narrow-gauge railway, is a health resort in a 46-hectare oak forest 4 km away from the city. A saline lake suitable for both bathing and boating, has made it a popular spa and health resort for over 300 years. The Museum Village of Sóstó (1 Tölgyes utca, Nyíregyháza-Sóstó) is a 7.5-hectare open-air ethnographic collection introducing the five areas in the Upper Tisza Region. In the workshops a ladies' hat milliner, a honey-cake maker, a sieve-maker, a bootmaker and a cobbler offer visitors an insight into the secrets of their trade. A complete range of buildings from the last century can be found here including a school, firehouse, bell tower, church, rectory, pub and a general store as well as homes from the wealthy to the simple peasant home.
