Pécs is the largest city in the Southern Transdanubia region of Hungary, situated about 20 miles west of the Danube River and 20 miles north of the border with Croatia.

The ruins of a 4th-century necropolis are listed on the register of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. As a result of multiple conquests from different ethnic groups, there are a mix of cultural influences seen here, such as the oldest university in Hungary, founded by the Magyars; and the Mosque of Pasha Qasim Victorious, from the 150-year rule imposed by the Ottomans. Pécs is a UNESCO City of Peace as well as a former European Capital of Culture.

Gyor

Gyor is the principal city in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary, located halfway between Vienna and Budapest. The city was founded by the Celts in the 5th century BCE; it was also a Roman settlement in the province of Pannonia called Arrabona. The Magyars arrived in the year 900 CE and gave the town its current name. The buildings you will see in the city today were built from the time of the Renaissance, when Gyor saw a resurgence, to the 19th century, when it boomed as a port on the Danube River. Gyor is in fact located at the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, the Raba, and the Rabca. Important sights in the area include the 15th-century Doczy Chapel; the Gothic-Baroque-hybrid Gyor Cathedral; the Museum of Roman Archaeology; and about 12 miles out of town, the Pannonhalma Archabbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be the first to visit the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady (Gyor Cathedral), Xantus Janos Zoo, Carmelite temple, Szechenyi Square, Museum of Roman Archaeology, Pannonhalma Archabbey, Pannonhalma Protected Area, Doczy Chapel, and so much more.
