Welcome to Hódmezővásárhely!
For centuries, Hódmezővásárhely has been the most strikingly representative settlement of the creative power of the Hungarian Great Plain. In our town, local creativity and knowledge, traditions and love of natural values are combined with the active power of the people who live here.
Among the cities of Hungary, Hódmezővásárhely has the largest agricultural area. Thanks to the valuable crops, tens of thousands of families can enjoy high-quality food from our settlement.
The creative power of the local artists’ community and the special creative atmosphere attract the best artists from all over the Carpathian Basin and the whole world to our town. The unique wildlife of the Tisza oxbow in Martély and the surrounding lakes is one of the most beautiful natural treasures of the Great Plain. Our town’s architectural heritage preserves the dignified memories of our history and traditions.
