Have you ever wondered how the gold seekers extracted gold dust from the water of the Danube? Would you like to know who the ‘burcsellás’ (boatmen) were? We show a couple of old professions that are hardly practiced by anyone in the area now, or have already become extinct, even though they provided livelihood to many people in the age of our great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents.

The kids can still marvel at the world. They are curious. They are interested in the whys and the wherefores. They want to know how things are made. Be a child again, dare to be a curious researcher and explorer again! If you take this tour, you will get an answer to how chocolate or our daily bread is made, enter a meat factory and the world-famous Audi factory, and finally learn the secrets of wine-making in a winery.

When you look up at them, you will see the past come to life. They each keep a page of living history and tell the story to those who will listen. Some are old, some new, some legendary, some antique, some modern, some made of wood and others of metal, some colorful, some somber. Their common trait, however, is that they all add something special to the inimitable atmosphere of the downtown. They provide sights to behold 24/7, they are places to meet up at and serve as town curiosities. These are the trade signs of Győr. We have collected a few of these for you to seek out and you may also want to add your favorites to the list.
