Hungary Bacs-Kiskun Kecskemet

Offering excellent examples of secessionist architecture, this town is rich with museums and day-trip opportunities.

Kecskemet is a city in the central part of Hungary. It is the 8th largest city in the country, lying almost equal distance from the two big rivers of the country, the Danube and the Tisza. The first archaeological trace of a human in the area is about five thousand years old. As Kecskemet was situated at an important trading route, it grew as a customhouse and a marketplace. After that it became a major cattle breeding and herding area; and finally, in 19C - an important wine district. Its main sights include City Hall, the Ornamental Palace, and the Hungarian Museum of Photography.

My trip with RoutePerfect went great! At first I was a little skeptical since the hotel prices were a lot cheaper than I had anticipated it to be. As soon as I paid for the hotels I quickly received an email confirmation with all of my reservations. The website was really user friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed using it. I have told all of my friends about how great the website is and I will be using the website again for my future travels.

Not only did I have an amazing trip, but the hotels were perfect, too. They were exactly what I was looking for and extremely affordable! I have recommended your website to multiple people and plan on using it again.
