General presentation
Győr et Pannonhalma
Baroque town at the confluence of rivers, Benedictine abbey of Pannonhalma, thermal baths, soft squares and easy access from Vienna or Budapest.
Győr, Pannonhalma Abbey and Rába give the most telling landmarks of Győr and Pannonhalma. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, riverscapes and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: stay short and less spectacular than Budapest. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Győr
Győr mix baroque squares, pedestrian lanes, pastel facades and walks at the confluence of the Danube, Rába and Rábca. The city lends itself well to a stage between Vienna and Budapest, with thermal baths, cafes and a compact centre that is discovered effortlessly.
Culture and heritage
Abbaye de Pannonhalma
The Pannonhalma Abbey dominates the wine-growing hills with its basilica, cloister, library and grass gardens. The Benedictine site combines religious heritage with a very neat landscape, interesting for both architecture and views of the countryside of the Hungarian West.
Town or village
Rába
The Rába cross-section Győr bringing docks, bridges and walks a few minutes from the baroque squares. Its banks give a softer reading of the city: reflections, terraces, trees and passages to the baths or residential areas, far from the commercial animation of the center.
