Bathing complex in Hungary

The city owes its international reputation to the discovery of thermal waters in 1925. During drilling, high-temperature springs rich in minerals were found here, which quickly turned Hajdúszoboszló into one of the most important European health resorts. Currently, the symbol of the city is Hungarospa, the largest bathing complex in Europe, including therapeutic pools, an aqua park, family zones and a modern Aqua-Palace center. Those planning a stay in Hajdúszoboszló can stay at Hunguest Hotel Aqua-Sol, located in the heart of the city’s spa zone. Guests also have direct access to the Hungarospa Aqua-Palace complex.

Hajdúszoboszló has also retained its historic character. In the city center you can see the 18th century Reformed church, walk through local parks or visit the museum dedicated to the history of the Hajdúság region. In addition, you can find attractions such as the upside down house and the potter’s house, dedicated to the story of István Fazekas, a master of folk art who presented his famous black pottery here.
