Győr (German: Raab, Slovak: Ráb, Celts: Arrabona, Turkish: Yanık) - is a city in Western Transdanubia in Hungary. It is the capital of Győr-Moson-Sopron county. The city is the sixth largest in Hungary, with around 128,000 inhabitants.

Understand

Győr is in the northwestern part of Hungary, close to the Slovakian and Austrian borders in the middle of the 'Golden Triangle' between Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna. It is a good stop between Vienna and Budapest or Sopron and Budapest, and also a good base for day trips throughout almost the whole North Transdanubian region. It has very good train and bus connections, and the motorway that passes to its south enables easy travel to Vienna and Budapest.

The city is nicknamed 'A vízek városa' 'A folyók városa' (lit. City of Waters or City of Rivers), because Raab/Rába, Rábca, Mosoni-Duna, Marcal rivers melting here or nearby, also mentioned as 'A barokk városa' (the Baroque City), because the old part of the city contains dozens of monumental buildings and sculptures from the 18th century.

Győr is also home to one of the biggest engine manufacturing plants in Europe (over 400 thousand units per year), which supplies most European Skoda, Audi and Seat car factories. The city center is very well supplied with small restaurants, pubs, bars and most of the hotels are here or nearby.

History

Győr was founded around 450 B.C. by the Celts. The Romans settled there around the 1st century B.C. After they abandoned the city, the Slavs eventually arrived around 500 A.D. It was briefly part of Great Moravia and then the Kingdom of the East Franks. The Magyars came around 900 and survived the Mongol invasion of Hungary in the 1240s. During the Ottoman era, Győr saw much conflict and was captured by the Turkish Army for four years. At the end of the 17th century, it was a flourishing city. It achieved the status of 'free royal town', which helped to further improve the economy, trade and culture. During World War II, the local Jewish community was nearly wiped out and several buildings and factories were destroyed. In the 50s and 60s, the Communist government built many block flats, and in the 70s, the long process of restoring the Old Town began.

By plane

Győr's own local airport only sees private aviation traffic with an occasional holiday charter flight. Using it as an entry point for Győr requires pretty much arriving by your own, or chartered, plane.

More practical options are the international airports in large cities in Győr's wider surroundings. The closest is actually the 2 Milan Rastislav Štefánik Airport (BTS IATA) in Bratislava, Slovakia, which is a 75 minute drive away, or 2 hours on the bus. Bratislava Airport is mainly served by budget carriers like Ryanair or Norwegian. See our guide to Bratislava for more information.

A really small bit further away, and almost equidistant, are 3 Vienna International Airport (VIE IATA) and 4 Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD IATA) both of which have a broad range of international and intercontinental connections. The travel time from either airport to Győr is less than two hours by road. Eurolines has a twice-daily service from Vienna International Airport to Győr.

About money changing. Like all Hungarian big town, the center of Győr is well equipped with banks and ATM's. The safest are in the banks, another best option are the shopping malls where normally more than one machine can be found. Train tickets, hotels and sometimes even taxis and supermarket accept euros (on wronger or better rates, minus five percent usually - rate can be seen at the desk). No bigger bill than fifty euro and prepare to get the change almost always in forints (HUF).

The city centre is full of shops, mostly selling souvenirs and clothes. There is a flower market every morning by the Carmelite church. During the main Christian holidays, there are holiday markets open in different squares and along Baross Gábor and Arany János street. Most of the big department stores, malls, hypermarkets are located south cca. two km of the City Center, near to M1 motorway exit.

Telephone

The country code for Hungary is 36 and Győr's area code is 96. You only need to dial the 06 if you're calling from within Hungary.

Pay phones are increasingly rare as most people have a mobile phone. The Railway Station has pay phones. If making local calls from a pay phone, you may need a phone card (HUF1000 minimum) as many pink T-Home telephone booths do not accept coins. Phone cards can be bought at post offices and some newsstand (Relays).

Stay safe

There is a very low crime rate.
