The street is easily accessible from Szechenyi square or from the eastern end where you have the new cultural center. The street very cosy and friendly in summer when you can sit one of the terraces of a pub or restaurant. You cannot find a lot of shops or boutiques here, but more pubs and restaurants. Hotel palatinus is in the street, and also the National Theatre of Pécs. The small touristic car-train crosses the street in summer time, make a hope off to taste a local beer, draft Szalon, the dark is better then the pils....
During our day in Pecs, of course we had to stop for lunch, and so we sought out one of the nicer restaurants on this street. The center of the city has apparently been given a recent face lift, and that is true of this street as well. It's lovely, but we didn't spend any time there. The area around the cathedral, with several museums and the incredible early Christian tombs, is much more worthy of your time.
Kiraly street is the main walking street in Pecs; it is lined by beautiful houses from the heyday of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and is full of restaurants, cafe and bistros. It is a must-see attraction in Pecs.
Pecs's city center has currently undergone some restoration, but when I was visiting the city, it was all but finished. The shops were average, or below average. It can't be compared to shopping steets of Western European cities. We saw an Irish pub on the street, but inside it wasn't Irish at all. It was a loud place with drunk people and some terrible local pop music from the 70s. Finally we decided to go to a McDonald's, which seemed the best option. It's a shame, because it could be a very nice shopping district with wonderful architectural gems. But all the better stores are located in a mall not far from here. The street was full of beggars and drunks, and I didn't feel safe at all, especially in the area further from the main square.
Neat walking street, quite vast and, maybe too empty but nonetheless a good afternoon walk. If you are discoring Hungary, that's neat - if you already know well hungary its too much kinna of the same.
This is the street to go to if your near the centre of the old town.Nice restaurants ( recommend Etkezo especially ) and continental feel to the place.
Pretty quick to walk through, at least the part that has the Theatre, shops and restaurants. It gets more lively in the afternoon of course, but we enjoyed it throughout the whole day. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed, it is not a shopping street, just a casual sort of 'main' caffe street.I recommend sitting down somewhere and relaxing with a drink, meal or ice-cream. The tourist car-train goes through frequently so you can 'ride' the street as well.
Here's where you'll find yourself wishing you had more time to stop and enjoy and afternoon coffee (or be happy you have time to do so)! The place to watch people, enjoy the architecture, have an al fresco meal and top it off with gelato.
Plenty of different things to see, bars, restaurants, shops. The Hungarians are very litter conscious and always put their litter in the bins.
Even that Pecs has many nice-looking streets, it is most likely that Kiraly utca will be the leader of your attention because there are many nice touristic-friendly things located on his street.Hotel Palatinus, which is located close to Szechenyi ter, is one of them. Even that this hotel might disappoint you with old furniture in its rooms, you shouldn't miss a chance to spend at least one night in this hotel to enjoin its noble lobby, spectacular views from your room and its majestic breakfast in the royal interior for a very reasonable price. But if you don't have such an opportunity, then don't miss a chance to take couple of pictures of its exteriors.The National Theater of Pecs is another attraction located on Kiraly utca if you will continue walking down the street away from Szechenyi ter. It might be tricky to get tickets if you buy them on the day of the show. If it unfortunately happened to you, then you can always enjoy the view of the theater from the outside sitting in one of the nearby benches. Street musician will make sure that the show that you missed inside the theater will be compensated by his musical abilities outside.Many restaurants, coffee shops, souvenir stores and some little museums will be also found by you while walking on this street.If you will continue walking in the opposite direction from Szechenyi ter, Kiraly utca will turn into Felsovamhaz utca, which will lead till Zsolnay Cultural Quarter, where you will find exhibitions of the famous Hungarian porcelain.Finally, McDonald's is another touristic-friendly place located at the beginning of this street with amazing view to Szechenyi ter.The only thing that really disappointed us is the fact that not many souvenir stores were open in one weekend in January during our stay. And those, which were open, had very tricky working schedule that didn't fit into opening hours written on the entrance doors.All in all, we (a couple) highly recommend you to spend some hours on this street.
