6 Best Things To Do In Mosonmagyaróvár, Hungary

1. Szigetköz

Szigetköz is an island in the northwestern part of Hungary. In English, it’s called as “Little Rye Island” or “Little Schütt Island” and the name literally means “island alley.” It’s Hungary’s largest island, with a territory of 375 square kilometers (145 square miles). It has a natural border created by the river Danube.

One of the most interesting parts of the island is a village called Dunakiliti, which is one of the gates to the island. Its name comes from a Turkish word “kilit” that means “a key.” It’s a very small village with less than 2,000 people, but it offers spectacular sights of the landscape. There is a Roman church in the village with beautiful and colorful window panels. If you have some time and the weather is nice, it’s worth to rent a bike and go for a ride around beautiful grasslands and wetlands of Szigetköz.

Now, I’ll add another museum to the list, but not historical this time. This one will interest every science fan, including chemistry, biology, and physics. It’s actually called “Interactive Science Adventure Center,” which means that you’ll see many interesting experiments, showing and explaining the most common forces on Earth, like how earthquakes are formed or how gravity works.

The entire museum is divided into four parts: water, where you’ll understand circulation of it, creation of clouds and see models of water objects, like glaciers for example; Earth, that will show you some physical phenomena connected to the world and to the wildlife; air, where the visitors can see its transforming powers, shown by sand deserts, as well as the sound exhibit. On the last floor, we’ll see an exhibition dedicated to the fire and light. The admission is 9.60 USD for adults and 7.70 USD for children and students.
