Szolnok

Built around a strategic crossing where the Zagyva meets the Tisza, Szolnok grew into the county seat of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok and an important centre on Hungary’s Great Plain. The two rivers still define the city’s setting, with riverside promenades and low, open floodplain country beyond the urban core. Szolnok’s position on the Tisza made it a fortified frontier town during the Ottoman period; its castle was taken by Ottoman forces in 1552. Today, the RepTár aviation museum and the Szigligeti Theatre add cultural interest to a city long shaped by transport links and river life.
