Győr, this mellow and colourful town is situated half way between Vienna and Budapest, and hosts a vast array of architectural, cultural and natural treasures.

The radial road network of the settlement connects Slovakia from the north, Austria from the west, Lake Balaton from the south and Budapest from the east to the town, the heart of Kisalföld (The Small Plains). The Győr-Pér Airport opened not long ago makes the town accessible by air as well.

"The town of rivers" or Arrabon, as the Romans called it, is a nearly 1000-year-old bishopric. It is famous for the battle which Napoleon won in 1809 and for its schools and industry. It has a nice downtown and beautifully restored Baroque buildings.

The town is very rich in historic buildings, outside Budapest has won Europe-award for the protection of the historic buildings, in acknowledgment of the reconstruction of the Baroque centre of the town. Churches, palaces, museums, characteristic corner-balconies and narrow lanes, all reminders of a historic past, invite visitors to take a walk in the centre of the town.

The ancient "heart" of the town is the residence of the bishops and the Cathedral at Káptalan Hill. The Gothic chapel, the special ornaments and frescos of the old Cathedral all make it worth visiting.
