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 all know some legends, stories of miraculous or simply noteworthy deeds of saints or famous people. Who has not heard stories of the justice of King Matthias or the myth of Saint Elizabeth of the Árpád Dynasty? Discover tall tales and notable legends and the places that bear their memories throughout the points of this tour. And decide for yourself whether fairies existed among us, if bread can indeed turn to stone or whether the iron rooster may crow.

You will partake in an extraordinary literature lesson if you choose this tour. We will introduce you to a collection of poets and writers associated with the city of Győr: maybe they were born here, or perhaps they died here, they studied, worked or became famous here.
