Győr-Moson-Sopron

Hungary's northwestern gateway, where the Baroque city of Győr, Pannonhalma Archabbey and Lake Fertő are worth a visit.

Győr-Moson-Sopron County lies in northwestern Hungary, bordering Austria and Slovakia. Its seat, Győr, is a well-preserved Baroque city, and Sopron has a medieval old town and its Fire Tower. The thousand-year-old Benedictine Pannonhalma Archabbey and the Fertő/Neusiedlersee cultural landscape are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and the Esterházy Palace at Fertőd is called the "Hungarian Versailles". Spring and autumn are the best seasons, and summer is good for cycling. The county lies on the Budapest–Vienna transport corridor, with convenient rail and road links.
