Historical cities in a modern light
This city of around a hundred thousand people on the way to lake Balaton has a privileged place in Hungarian history as the place of coronation for Hungarian kings. Today it is more famous for Ikarus buses, which are manufactured here, or for its colourful, chiming astronomical clock, thanks to which the local clockmaker’s house has become a new attraction for the city. Restoring the glory of the city, attracting visitors and, above all, enhancing quality of life became the goals of project Fő utca. The multi-year renovation has brought the historic city centre a fresh, modern complexion. Where buses once drove is now a place for young families to walk, and the public space is adorned with fountains, newly planted flowerbeds, trees, and unique lighting installed directly in the paving. Prax litter bins by mmcité have been added with bespoke HPL decors, as well as 47 Vera and Vera Solo benches, and we are proud that people can relax there and take in the beauty of “new” Székesfehérvár.
