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.

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.
