Győr-Szigetköz-Pannonhalma for Explorers - 5 days

The Old Town, the historical town centre is situated at the junction of the Danube and Rába rivers. The town centre has managed to protect its historical character, and you’ll find most of the monuments and tourist attractions here.

Bécsi kapu tér is one of the most beautiful Baroque squares in Hungary and also one of the oldest squares in Győr. All of its buildings qualify as listed buildings of national heritage. The town square of Győr is Széchenyi tér, which has been functioning as a market square since the 14th century. In the past, it served as home to an Ancient Roman civil town. The square is also where the Saint Ignatius of Loyola Benedictine Church and Monastery and the Széchenyi Pharmacy Museum are located.

The streets, squares and the old company signs on the houses take us back in time: the Zichy Palace, the Esterházy Palace, the museums and churches are full of ancient treasures.Let yourself be guided back in time in this awe-inspiring city centre.

After you have discovered the historical monuments, we invite you to an interactive exhibition centre.

The Mobilis Interactive Exhibition Centre is a hub for creative design, discovery and playful learning. The facility has 70 different devices to experiment with, from a wind tunnel and a mirror maze to an aerodynamic chassis. The exhibition area is dedicated to 3D printing, augmented and virtual reality, robotics, smart home tools, creating animations, and various humanoids.

The digital science centre also hosts experimental exhibits designed for all ages, to help people fall in love with engineering and science. The joy of play is not only for children!

The Audi Visitor Centre provides a glimpse into a vehicle assembly plant, including chassis construction, pressing and assembly, engine manufacturing, and even information on just how many components there are in a V6 TDI engine.

It’s a flawless interplay of precision and technology – a chassis turns into a complete, functioning car before your very eyes, with over 600 robots working together to weld the individual components together into one cohesive whole. During the visit, you can get a glimpse into all of the above, and can also buy some nice souvenirs at the Audi shop

The early Mosonmagyaróvár Castle was founded by Saint Stephen himself, on the low hill now known as Királydomb. The castle is built on the remains of an Ancient Roman settlement, and was rebuilt multiple times during its existence, as you can tell from its irregular rectangular layout.

During the Middle Ages, the owners of the castle – which played a strategic military role – changed frequently. Later, the emphasis was put on protection against the Ottoman Empire. The castle then lost its military strategic importance and became a prison for a few years, before finally becoming a significant educational building.

We are now right in the middle of the Little Hungarian Plain. Szigetköz is an island bordered by the Danube and the Mosoni-Duna River – and is, in fact, the largest island in Hungary, with an area of 375 square kilometres.

Nature-lovers, enthusiastic cyclists and those fond of active leisure activities will feel as though they’re in seventh heaven.

The area, also known as the “Gift of the Danube” is characterised by rich flora and fauna, which you can easily explore by kayak, canoe or boat.

The Mosoni-Duna River spreads here in Szigetköz and breaks down into a thousand smaller branches, forming islands and narrow channels. The meandering river branches are home to thick reed beds, where you may also spot rare birds, otters and beavers. You can also bathe in the water. The river bank is forest-covered with a gravelly, sometimes sandy or muddy bed. The romantic landscape, the trees half-immersed in water, the boats seemingly forgotten on the banks and the stillness are all in perfect harmony. Off to the beach then, to relax and enjoy yourselves!
