Pecs: Meszes: Pécs, Budai vám -> Komló
Built around the Roman town of Sopianae, Pécs grew into a major cultural and university centre in southern Hungary. The city stands on the southern slopes of the Mecsek Mountains, close to the Croatian border, where the plain begins beyond the urban streets. Its Roman-era Early Christian Necropolis, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000, preserves painted burial chambers from late antiquity. Ottoman rule also left a defining monument: the former mosque of Pasha Qasim, now serving as a Catholic church on Széchenyi Square. Pécs combines a compact historic core with broad modern boulevards, residential quarters and the University of Pécs, one of Hungary’s oldest universities.

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.
