Some thoughts about Baja:
Baja is one of the most distinctive cities of the Hungarian section of Danube water. This charming little town was built at the coast o the Danube and Sugovica backwater, so water plays a key role in the city’s life. The nearby forested areas of Gemenc are amongst the most beautiful natural landscapes of our country with their protected flora and fauna. Baja is a major transportation hub due to its bridge and river port.
The surrounding area’s natural attractions include the exceptionally beautiful and lush lakeside scenery of the Danube, the Sugovica and the forests of Gemenc.
The surrounding natural environment and built values give Baja a special atmosphere. This small town gives a Mediterranean atmosphere due to its climate, the proximity of water, the architecture and to is inhabitants. Many exhibitions, museums, galleries present the city’s history, cultural values and lives of the locals.
