Not far from the edge of Lake Balaton, lies the town of Nagykanizsa, a commercial town with 55000 inhabitants. For centuries the town has been a connecting link.

Nice pics of a cute town, neighbor

I visited Nagykanizsa a few times, but it's been quite a while ago.

Inace, imam i nekaj rodbine odmah iza granice na madzarskoj strani, svega par kilometara poslije granicnog prijelaza Gorican. Kod njih sam bio prosle godine u 11. mjesecu, u posjeti preko vikenda

Poznam ova sela. Hrvatsko stanovništvo živi u 4-5 sela: Tótszerdahely, Tótszentmárton, Molnári, Fityeház, Murakeresztúr, Petrivente.
Ali žive Hrvati iu Nagykanizsi. Postoji hrvatski konzulat /na trgu Erzsébeta/ i hrvatska manjinska samouprava. U svakoj godini je održan „Hrvatski dan" u gradu. Nagykanizsa je u tesnoj vezi sa Čakovcem: zajednički natječaji u EU.
Jedina negativna stvar je što prestao je hrvatski „šoping turizam".

Nice town, though. Looks verrry Hungarian!

Negativna stvar za nas, a ne za Hrvate.
Fali novac Hrvata u Nagykanizsi.
