The main events of the 1956 revolution took place in Budapest, but other rural municipalities also joined in the capital’s demands for freedom. What happened in the towns and cities of Győr-Moson-Sopron County over the course of those days? Our tour features five locations to elaborate on what transpired, providing a reminder of what happened in those fateful hours. The book titled the Freedom Fight in Győr-Sopron county details one of the most important events in recent Hungarian history.

We start from the abbey in Pannonhalma and roll through the city to arrive in Győrság from where we will head straight to the end of our tour. This is an easy and relaxing afternoon ride suitable for all ages.

There is a place in Győr, Győr-Újváros (New City), where there is an abundance of churches of different denominations just a few meters away from one another. Karzat Színház Nonprofit Kft. has been building a successful series of programs on this idiosyncrasy for years (The Festival of the five Churches and the Five Church Advent). Apart from this, they offer a guided tour where visitors will become acquainted with the characteristics of the different faiths, their architecture and the possibility for peaceful, prosperous coexistence among different cultures and religions.
