In the footsteps of Sándor Marai

Are you a lover of the poetic word? The writer Sándor Márai, a native of Košice, has brought it to the literary boards of the world. His works, now known in many translations, have travelled the planet during the 20th century. Celebrate his success with a biographical tour on Mäsiarska Street and identify with his verbal message!

Imagine the life of a writing giant who made Košice famous for his proud local patriotism. He repeatedly immortalised Košice in his books and for eager readers they are a thorough documentation of times past. The biographical exhibition at his birthplace also offers the opportunity to listen to authentic recordings of the voices of Sándor Máraia, his faithful wife Lola and the writer's younger brother Géza Radványi. After visiting the Sándor Márai Memorial Exhibition, we recommend you spend a literary experience at the popular resting place by the statue of the author at the corner of Baštova and Zbrojnična Streets.

After the walk, head back to Main Street where you will be welcomed by Márai Bistro, whose Hungarian menu is inspired by the life story of the literary great from Košice, Sándor Márai. Treat yourself to a special lunch or dinner right on the Main Street, where you will also taste fish soup in the "Szeged" style, honest chicken paprikash or delicious poppy seed toasties with mango puree and vanilla cream for dessert. The rich wine list will definitely be appreciated by true wine connoisseurs!
