Day 1: Pannonhalma and Győr in One Day
On March 6, 2027 (Saturday), we will depart from Szeged in the morning, leaving from the parking lot of the Szeged Plaza shopping centre. The first stop on our excursion will be Pannonhalma, where we will discover one of Hungary’s most outstanding historical and cultural treasures, the Pannonhalma Benedictine Archabbey, which boasts a history spanning more than a thousand years. The Archabbey was founded in 996 by Prince Géza, the father of Hungary’s first king, Saint Stephen. Standing majestically on the top of Saint Martin’s Hill, this remarkable religious complex has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. During our visit, we will admire the magnificent Basilica of Saint Martin and the Abbey’s world-famous library, home to an extraordinary collection of priceless treasures. Afterwards, we will continue our journey to Győr, known as the City of Rivers, where the Rába and the Danube meet in the heart of the city. We will begin our sightseeing tour at the impressive Neo-Baroque Town Hall. From here, we will stroll along Baross Gábor Street, one of Győr’s most popular pedestrian streets, before arriving at the beautiful Széchenyi Square, surrounded by magnificent Baroque buildings and considered the true heart of the historic city centre. During our walk, we will also visit the recently renovated Cathedral of Győr, where we will admire the magnificent Herm of Saint Ladislaus, originally from Oradea (Nagyvárad), one of the most valuable and beautiful masterpieces of Hungarian goldsmith craftsmanship. Following our guided sightseeing tour, everyone will have some free time to explore Győr’s charming historic city centre at their own pace. To continue our excursion, we will board our coach once again and cross the Danube. We will make a short stop for a break in Medve (Medveďov), Slovakia, before continuing our journey home. Arrival in Szeged is expected in the late evening.
