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.

This tour can be completed as an afternoon program during which we will pass by the beautiful Lavender Park of Pannonhalma.

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.
