Search hotels in Nagykanizsa

We visited in November so it was cold weather (luckily it was dry). There are some good restaurants and coffee/cake shops nearby the hotel and reasonably priced. We visited the cemetery to find the grave of a relative of ours who had recently died. The cemetery was FULL of flowers which had been placed on the graves on 1st November (All Saints Day)... I have never seen such a colourful cemetery. Interestingly there are military graves of Hungarians (First World War) and Germans and Russians (mostly March and April 1945)... they are all well kept. On Sunday mornings there is a large car boot type sale at the rear of the covered market... worth a look. The indoor market is only open on mornings. It is well attended by locals buying fruit, vegetables and meat but also enjoying a drink, a pastry or a cooked sausage with bread etc. It was too cold to walk about too much. I would not recommend arriving by train as the station is outside the centre and there are no taxis there. The coach station is busy, located right in the centre of town and there are usually two or three taxis at the nearby rank. We came and went via coach from Budapest. About £15 per person each way. It is a good reliable service. Zalakaros (a spa town about ten miles away) is worth a visit if you enjoy hot water leisure facilities... it is famous for it... the Americans drilled for oil but found water at almost boiling point... they reckon the town has earned more from hot water than it ever could have from oil!

Cosy and well-kept little town surrounded by beautiful nature. Spend one or two days visíting the main spots of the town: Erzsébet tér, Szent-József Church, Jézus Szíve Church, Bank Palace, Thury György Museum, Vasemberház, Kiskastély, Inkey-kápolna. A must-see is the MAORT-telep, the American workers' neighbourhood with its typical athmosphere. Then head out to the nature: surrounding lakes (Csónakázó-tó, Gyékényesi-tó, Kistolmácsi-tó), Kőszikla-szurdok Nagybakónak (photo), Förhénc wineyard and more.
