About Győr

Győr is built where the Mosoni Duna, Rába and Rábca rivers meet, and its baroque squares, cathedral and the Ark of the Covenant sculpture fill a walkable centre. The city sits within an hour of Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest, and the Szigetköz wetlands and Pannonhalma abbey are close by. April to October suits river walks and terraces; December brings a Christmas market to the main square, and the thermal baths run year-round.
