Mezőtúr
Give Mezőtúr half a day: the Reformed Great Church, the pottery museum and the 1928 town hall. Sleep over only for the late-August fairs.
Mezőtúr is a town of about 17,000 people on the Great Plain in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County, known for cattle, wheat and a long pottery tradition. It sits on the Budapest Keleti–Szolnok–Békéscsaba rail line, so it works as a half-day stop between Szolnok and Békéscsaba, or as a base for the late-August Tur Fair and the mid-August arts days. The station is on the northern edge of the centre, a short walk from the sights.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Central Europe ↗Six of the nine countries here — Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia — charge a time-based motorway vignette, mostly digital and linked to the number plate; buy it before the first motorway past the border, because cameras, not toll booths, do the checking.
- Central Europe ↗Temporary police checks at internal Schengen borders are common in this region in 2026 (Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia among others — check): keep your passport on you on every cross-border train, bus and road even though there is no fixed control post.
- Hungary ↗Hungary is in the EU and the Schengen area: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
- Hungary ↗The currency is the Hungarian forint (HUF), not the euro: decline dynamic currency conversion at cards and ATMs.
- Hungary ↗Motorways need an electronic vignette (e-matrica) bought before you drive on them.
