Gyor

Overview

Introduction

Gyor is called the Town of Four Rivers: It sits at the confluence of the Raba, Rabca, Marcal and Mosoni-Danube, 65 mi/105 km northwest of Budapest. The 2,000-year-old city has a 12th-century cathedral and the remains of a castle (with cannons intact). It's fun just to walk down Gyor's streets. Plan at least two hours there—perhaps a stop while driving between Vienna and Budapest. If you can, catch a performance of the Gyori Ballet, which has a reputation as the best performance group in the country.
