grayfo Says: Opposite the Bishop's Castle is the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, an 11th Century triple-aisled Romanesque building, which was rebuilt the first time after having been destroyed by the Mongols around the 13th-15th Century. During the Turkish occupation in 1594 - 1598 it was...
grayfo Says: One of the most impressive sights in Gyõr is the Italian designed City Hall, which has been in permanent use since the sixteenth century. Famed for its palatial appearance, stone columns, arched windows and highly detailed stonework, the building contains over 200 rooms and...
Carmelite Church (Karmelita templom)
grayfo Says: The Carmelite Church styled in early Italian Baroque is based on the Carmelite church in Rome and was built between 1721 and 1725. The plans were the work of the Carmelitan monk/architect Márton Witwer.
grayfo Says: The Bishops Castle erected on Káptalandomb (the Chapter Hill) is a symbol of the Christianity of West-Hungary and was the 14th C residence of Bishop Kálmán, son of King Charles Robert of Anjou; the Bishop's coat-of-arms adorn the front of the tower.
1courage Says: I just love the internal of this church. After the complete renovation I think that a not really big church couldn`t even look better. The internal was designed by the same Márton Witwer while the paintings were created by the italian Martin Altamonte between 1721 and...

grayfo Says: It’s Sunday night at 10:15 we have just booked into the hotel and we are hungry, all the restaurants in Gyõr seem to have closed (very un-English). Good old reliable McDonalds, it may not be the healthiest meal on the planet but the Big Macs and Fries are the same anywhere,...
Restaurant Romantica: More than goulash
yooperprof Says: Pleasant restaurant down by the Mosoni-Duna river. I brought a big appetite here and was well-satisfied. I didn't eat much beef this summer, but when I came to Hungary I was feeling the need for some red meat, so I ordered a tenderloin filet that was very well-prepared. (And...

The western part of the city I-river & cityscape
1courage Says: This part of Győr is not at all known by tourists, a real "off the beaten path". Mostly those tourists who come by train or by bus, head their way directly to the city centre from the City hall. I made a deviations to the left from this street to west-northwest because...
Helpfulness
One of the big attractions in Gyor for the locals is a full-scale Water Park on the west side of the Raba river. On the warm summer day I was in Gyor, I saw hundreds of people swimming in large pools, lying out on the grass, playing beach volleyball or gliding down the water slides. I didn't have my swmsuit with me, otherwise I would have been tempted to join the throngs.

yooperprof Says: In the pedestrianized town center, there are a number of amusing public sculptures by contemporary artists. You can spend some time trying to figure out what their inner meaning is, or can you simply enjoy the skill with which they have created these pieces.
