Gyula, Charming Holiday Town in SE Hungary

Gyula appears to be a sleepy little town on the Romanian border, but in fact it has some beautiful architecture in its churches and other buildings and is home to the last remaining medieval brick castle on the Great Plain. There are famous spas and baths (which we didn't have time to visit) along with numerous museums and a wealth of open-air performances in summer. As a result, it's a popular holiday destination among Hungarians and a pleasant place for a day trip.
