Hungary: Győr Walking Tour

Győr is the most important city in northwestern Hungary, the seat of Győr-Moson-Sopron County and one of the country's 23 cities with county status.

It is located on the route of one of the most important roads in Central Europe, midway between Budapest and Vienna.

The city has several historical buildings, for example the castle, Benedictine Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Lutheran Evangelic church.

The ancient core of the city is Káptalan Hill at the confluence of three rivers: the Mosoni-Danube, Rába, and Rábca. Püspökvár, the residence of Győr's bishops, can be easily recognized by its incomplete tower. Győr's oldest buildings are the 13th-century dwelling tower and the 15th-century Gothic Dóczy Chapel. The cathedral, originally in Romanesque style, was rebuilt in Gothic and Baroque style.

The city is a national hub for rail and road traffic. The transport-geographical position of Győr is excellent. The most important railway connections are the Vienna-Budapest railway line.

The city is one of the country's five main cities and has a population of 127,000.

One of the main natural attractions is river Rába.
