General presentation
Pécs et Villány
Southern Hungarian South around Pécs, Paleo-Christian mosaics, Ottoman heritage, Mecsek hills and Villány vineyards.
Pécs, Quartier Zsolnay and Necropolis PaleoChristiane give the most telling landmarks of Pécs and Villány. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, countryside and mountain reliefs meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: summer heat possible and less direct from 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.
Heritage City
Centre historique de Pécs
The centre of Pécs mix Mediterranean squares, transformed mosque, cathedral and cafes in a more southern atmosphere than Budapest. The city is discovered very well on foot, without imposing a heavy rhythm.
Culture and architecture
Quartier Zsolnay
The Zsolnay district transforms the ceramic heritage of Pécs in cultural ensemble, with colorful buildings, workshops, museums and courses. It gives an original stage, different from the classic monuments of the city.
Vineyard
Villány
Villány is one of the major Hungarian wine sectors, with cellars, vineyards and villages south of Pécs. The stage works better by car, driver or night on site to enjoy tastings without running.
