Curious to see where Napoleon’s armies faced off with Hungarian nobles, where the battle for the Hungarian throne was fought in the early middle ages, or whether Ferenc Rakoczi II fought in our county? On this tour you will find out why the victory our ancestors won against the Eastern Frank army at the end of the battle of Bratislava was so significant and how Győr pays its respects to the heroes of the World Wars. A trip through space and time! Come with us and experience living history.

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.
