Quite and relaxing for evening time. We spent some time walking around looking for restaurants. Nice buildings in the old part of the town. Mostly well maintained. Good meeting point.

A very nice square with interesting buildings and interesting history. Several nice places to eat and unwind. The city of Pecs is a nice place to visit, small, but with many places to see. Very nice for pleasant walks.

One of the most beautiful squares I have ever seen in Europe. It is awesome and a great place for photos. We spent the weekend in Pecs and every time we walked through or by this square I saw something new and interesting. Lovely place!

Besides having Mosque of Pasha Qasim, the City Hall, Zsolnay fountain and a lot of monuments at this square surrounded by pretty buildings, the uniqueness of Szechenyi ter is also in its slope. If you will stand near the Mosque and look down the square, you will be a lucky witness of a very pretty view, especially during dusk.
We (a couple) also recommend you to visit McDonald's located at this square to have a quick meal while enjoying a view to the square that opens from the restaurant's big windows.
And if you are going to hear a strange music similar to the one that comes from an ice cream truck, then it is time to run at the back of the Mosque to check St. Bartholomew’s Bell Tower. It is 21st century modern bell tower that automatically rings the bells and plays music only couple a times during day, so make sure not to miss the show!

Just sit and take in the old buildings which have been meticulously restored. There are free concerts and more locals than tourists. A real treat.

This is as good a place as any to start a tour of the town. When we were there Michelangelo's horse was set up there as part of the Michelangelo exhibition which added greatly to the imposing impression of this square. Unfortunately the mosque at the top end was covered in scaffolding and closed to the public but just below it is a rather wonderful water installation reminiscent of Pamukkale in Turkey, a series of steps with water running down them which made for a very refreshing paddle. There are plenty of places to sit and have a coffee or an icecream and while away the time. The prime position on one corner is unfortunately occupied by a McDonalds, but that is nothing new these days.

We could have spent far longer wandering around this square and the surrounding, quite buzzy area. It is a magnificent reminder of the important history of this major centre

The city of Pécs has a colorful history with different religions. The Széchenyi square is a summary of the past, with the mosque, the buildings embellished with the Zsolnay ceramics and the Christian church. I recommend a night visit too and drink a beer or wine there.

Szechenyi square feels like the center of the city. It is one of it's most important places to visit. We have been there about 10 times over several years and there is alwyas something going on. The area seems to usually have street performers and children's activites going on. The square is lined with places to eat and coffee shops. There is also a city tour train that begins and ends in the square. The church on the square is indicitive of the history of Hungary and worth a visit.
