Pecs: Arpadvaros: Pécs, Siklósi út -> Siklós
Tucked into the southern foothills of the Mecsek Mountains, Pécs is a city whose character is shaped by the meeting of wooded uplands and the Pannonian Plain. Its centre retains the legacy of Sopianae, the Roman settlement whose 4th-century Early Christian Necropolis is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Széchenyi Square is marked by the former Mosque of Pasha Qasim, a reminder of Ottoman rule, while the Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul stands near the Roman remains. Pécs is also a university city: the University of Pécs traces its origins to 1367. Roads along the foot of the Mecsek link residential districts, civic institutions and the historic core.

Built around the lands west of the Danube, Transdanubia grew into Hungary’s broad western historical region. This location lies on Lake Balaton’s northern shore near Balatonfüred, where the Balaton Uplands rise behind the water in a mosaic of vineyards, basalt hills and small settlements. Lake Balaton, Central Europe’s largest lake, has long shaped local recreation, agriculture and summer life. Across the bay, the Tihany Peninsula is marked by its Benedictine Abbey, founded in 1055 and associated with one of Hungary’s earliest surviving written records.

Hungary combines a long urban tradition with expansive lowland horizons in a way that reflects its position within the Carpathian Basin. The Danube runs through Budapest, separating the hills of Buda from the grand boulevards of Pest, where the Hungarian Parliament Building stands on the riverbank. Beyond the capital, the Great Hungarian Plain shapes much of the east, while Lake Balaton, Central Europe’s largest lake, draws summer visitors to its shores. Thermal bathing remains part of everyday life, and the Tokaj region is internationally known for its historic sweet wines.
