The walk

Széchenyi Square, on a slope, with the mosque-church above and the Zsolnay fountain in the centre, is the starting point. From there Király utca, the pedestrian street of Pécs, runs east: 19th-century façades, cafés and terraces, the Palatinus and, at the end, the national theatre. It is the walk for the afternoon and dinner.
