From Britain to Mesopotamia, the Roman Empire conquered the entirety of the Mediterranean coastal regions and at its peak, controlled a 6 000 000 km stretch of dry land. Defending such an expansive empire that was also very diverse geographically and culturally was only possible under very organized conditions. The several thousand kilometer long Limes (Latin: “path”) served this purpose, the borderline traversing thousands of kilometers across mountains and valleys, winding along the river lines was given the name “ripa.” The section of Roman limes along the Danube in Hungary bears the name Ripa Pannonica. Visit each of the municipalities where the remnants of the limes can be seen. And while you're on the tour, do not forget that you are at a potential World Heritage sight, as this section of the limes is among the Hungarian sights on the UNESCO world heritage tentative list.

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. All of their memories are maintained by the associated municipality; seek them out and pay a moment’s respect to their memories.

Want to time-travel? Are you curious to see how rural folks lived and worked 100 years ago? If you think about it, it was not so long ago, maybe your great-grandparents were children at the time. The world has changed so much that we cannot imagine living without electricity, a bathroom or computers, but 100 years ago, people had none of these things. Take this tour and journey into the past, the exhibitions, historically furnished houses and activities will give you a peek at what country life was like back then.
