Two festivals are being had simultaniasely, but both are the Summerfest. One of them is a line of glorious beautiful performances, the other is hidden from the eyes of the audience and the other is maybe the true festival. Two tousand people saw the Opening Ceremony live, and through the Internet-television broadcast it's impossible to estimate how many people saw this program. Then again few people saw what happened in the sportcenter durring the Opening Ceremony and behind the scenes of the Dancepanoramas. Those nations who appear one by one are all together durring this time. Many of them after introducing themselves started to dance and sing for their own fun others were practising dance steps nervously. Behind the glamour of the stage this is the real place of the festival where the "internationals" make friendships and not rarely even loves.

 

Anyone, who welcomes guests or makes friends for the time of the Summerfest deffinitely tries to show our city to the ones from abroad. Where is it worth taking our guests? What is it that we could be proud of and what could be interesting for them?
First of all the Matrica Museum where you can see the constant exhibits about interesting historical items found from the diggings in Százhalombatta. Another sight worth seeing is the archeological park, the reopened comon cemetary is a speciality which can only be seen here. Within the cemetary besides the memorical items there is media program here so we don't need a translator because we can choose languages.
At Dunafüred next to the southern bank it is worth seeing the roman spa, adding that the Matrica was an important soldier base this is where the roman street was which goes from Százhalombatta to Érd though the hills and there is a part of it which is still in it's original state. True, it is not used for traveling, because the quality of it has decreased since the romans built it.
Next to the past of the city we have to introduce the present of it too: much can be seen in the city's shopping center, the doctor center, nursery schools and the elementary schools, furthermore the rentflats, which are being built now. We can take a stroll with our guests to one of the parks in Százhalombatta, since these are very nice to see.
We shouldn't forget about our city's important energy centrum and although we can't visit the factory, it can be seen perfectly from the outside.
We also often forget our natural gifts although we can take nice strolls next to the Danube-river, which is at the moment comming out of it's bank. This is why it's safer to look at it from a safe distance.
If we have enough time we can introduce our own gastronomie to our guests but we don't have to take the risk, we can give this task to a professional cook. This is an easy solution because the restaurants in Százhalombatta are reliable, cook good and the prices is right also.
We only have a hard time if we would like to surprise our guests with a present that reminds them about Százhalombatta. At the moment there is no variety concerning these items. We hope thet in the future Festivals this problem will no longer be actuall.
