Miskolc is considered to be a resort town due to nearby bathing with healing water. The hospitable city from spring before the beginning of the autumn is filled with tourists from all over the planet. And as at any other resort, rest here has its own characteristics.
Tourist Bureau Miskolts.
Upon arrival in Miskolc travelers, it is necessary to look at the information tourist center, located on the street Ishthan Sixeni, 16 in the historic district of the city. First, the local staff will tell you what sights should be visited, and what you can bypass the side while walking in the city. Secondly, tourists will be awarded a free map of the city and surroundings, as well as useful brochures in English or, when necessary, Hungarian. Still in the travel bureau will help to deal with urban transport and advise how to easily get to therapeutic couple. The center of the center is fluent in English.
There is a tourist center from Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 16:00. On Saturday, travelers can get the necessary information from 9:00 to 14:00, and Sunday the center is closed. However, tourists who planned on Sunday a trip to the cave bathing bath of Miskolc-Tapolets can, if necessary, look into the local branch of the tourist center. It is located on the territory of the complex and on the weekend it works from 10 am to 5 pm.
Urban transport
Public transport is well developed in Miskolc. This is especially true of buses that travel around the city and nearby surroundings of 45 routes. However, for tourists I will be useful only five of them. For a trip to the bathhouse in Tapolets, it will be necessary to resort to the services of the bus №2 and 20, and bus number 5 will help to the medicinal waters in Lillafüred. Move around the central part of the city to tourists will be conveniently by bus number 1.
You can track the route of city buses right at stops, on each of which weigh the timetable and transport map of the city. And in the cabin of the city transport, an electronic scoreboard is installed, reflecting the possible temporary deviation from the route and the name of all stops.
By the way, most drivers open on the bus only the front door in order to be able to control the availability of tickets from passengers. When leaving the transport, you can ask to open a convenient door for you.
Trams in the resort city go throughout two routes, but both intersect the pedestrian street of Ishthan Sechen. On this transport, it is convenient to get to the railway station or to the castle of Dwerch.
Buy a bus ticket / Tram will succeed in any newsstand or at the box office throughout the Mischlin. There is a single ticket of 300 forints, and for its absence, a great fine is relying.
Internet and communications
In this resort town, tourists can get free access to the Internet at once in several parts: on the area of Terrace Sintea, in the Shopping and Entertainment Center Sin-Park, on the Heroes Square and in the Mishcolc Plaza Shopping Center. As for hotels and guest houses, many of them provide free Wi-Fi service. Provide access to the global network and numerous Internet cafes of the city, located on the streets of the historic center of Belvaros. True, this service is paid in them. Watch Internet access will be held by trains in 310 Forints.
With a telephone connection in Miskolc, the situation is as follows. All known payphones working on cards or from coins are periodically found on the streets of the city. You can make a call to abroad. A minute of international conversation will cost travelers in 250 Hungarian Forints. At the time of a long stay, you can purchase a SIM card of local mobile operators supporting roaming and communicate with the house with a cell phone. However, in my opinion, the most economical and convenient option will be communication with relatives with Skype.
Hungarian Shopping
In the breaks between sightseeing and relaxation in the soft waters of a nearby cave bathing, guests of the Mischiks can take care of souvenirs. The good business in the city has several shopping centers, and small souvenir shops work on the main pedestrian street. Making purchases in large stores, you should not particularly count on the Tax-Free system in this Hungarian resort. A partial refund of the tools spent is possible with a one-time purchase in the amount of over 38,500 Hungarian forints. This amount for local standards is rather big. And given the features of the Hungarian shopping, to buy a one check for four tens of thousands of Forints unlikely. However, if such a purchase takes place, the seller must arrange a special check, which will need to be saved. And yet, leaving Hungary, the commodity check will need to put a customs service stamp.
By the way, the return return does not apply to the product products, namely they are often bought in Miskolc as souvenirs. Also are not refundable funds spent on purchasing books, tobacco products and any goods from Duty Free shops.
Safety
In general, Miskolc is considered a relatively calm city. True, with unpleasant situations may face nightlife lovers who have decided to take a walk through the night bars in the university district. As for the thieves and pockets, they successfully work in shopping centers and on the main pedestrian street of the resort. Therefore, tourists should show vigilance to their wallets in crowded places and do not wear large amounts in cash with them.
And yet, in Hungarian laws, travelers must have identity documents with them. But considering the agility of small vorays, it is better to carry their photocopies with them instead of originals.
