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.

Have you ever taken a selfie with a statue of a potato beetle or fountain made of soda water bottles? Pose with unique, interesting pieces of public artwork that give you a glimpse into the past. Seek out the Szigetköz commercial railways memorial built in memory of the largely forgotten local company, visit one of the former ports, and while your there taste grandmother’s fresh baked bread. And of course, do not forget to take lots of photos.

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. Learn more about the forgotten professions!
