bath houses
Thanks mostly to Sóstó which is Hungarian for "Salt Lake", NyÃregyháza has many opportunities to spend time in the water, for recreation or health.
ÃlményfürdÅ (http://elmenyfurdo.sostor...) Aquapark is a recently completed waterpark in Sóstó. It's divided into three "worlds": thermal world, which is like a traditional bathhouse; fun world, which has slides and wave pools; and children's world, designed for little children.
ParkfürdŠ(http://parkfurdo.sostort....) Park Baths located on Bernát u. 1-3. in Sóstó is a small waterpark with 7 pools, a giant slide, a mini-golf course, and nudist bathing only on the female side.
Sóstó fürdÅház Sóstó bathhouse (http://www.furdohaz.hu/) contains 2 mineral pools ideal for relaxing in, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. Certainly the most expensive of all the places in town as tickets currently start at 1,990 Ft for an adult day ticket.
TófürdŠ(http://tofurdo.sostort.hu...) Lakeside Baths are situated on the southern side of Sóstó lake and are your only chance to swim in the lake itself. Only open from July to August.
Júlia FürdÅ (http://juliafurdo.sostort...) is the only bathhouse in NyÃregyháza proper on Malom u. 19. It is cheaper than the ones in Sóstó, and as such tends to be a bit more crowded. As a plus, there is a large pool specifically for swimming and not just sitting, as well as a warm thermal pool outdoors. The steam room is included in the admission, but you have to pay extra to use the sauna.
NyÃregyházi Ãllatpark NyÃregyházi Zoo (http://www.sostozoo.hu/en...) is located near the #8 bus stop in Sóstó and is considered one of the best zoos in the country behind the zoo in Budapest. The zoo has a wide variety of animals from all the regions of the world, including Africa lions, giraffes, elephants, North America buffalo, cougars, raccoons, and the Antartic polar bears, penguins.
Flea Markets there is the Piac Market located downtown and open daily, but the real show is every weekend by the airport. Take bus #1 and you can't miss it, hundreds of stalls selling all sorts of items, mostly of Chinese origin. This market is often frequented by Ukranians and Romanians, which only adds the adventure.
Móricz Zsigmond SzÃnház (http://www.moriczszinhaz.hu) on Bessenyei tér 13. is the town theater. Plays are frequently performed here in Hungarian.
NyÃregyháza Spartacus (http://www.szpari.hu/) is the local soccer team nicknamed "Szpari." They play in the city stadium, just north of the downtown and easily reached by either bus #8 or #8A. The team currently plays in the NB I, Hungary's top professional league.
NyÃrplaza (http://www.nyirplaza.net/) on Szegfű u. 75 is a small shopping mall outside the city center directly accessible only by the infrequent #11 bus or walking and contains various shops, a food court, a bowling alley, and a multiplex movie theater (http://www.hmplx.hu/).
