Introducing Győr
Győr is usually pegged as 'that big industrial city with the funny name' and neither can be denied. Pronounced something like 'jyeur', Győr (German: Raab) is an important producer of trucks, rolling stock and textiles, and is the nation's third-largest industrial centre.
But Győr is also a historical city; in fact, after Budapest and Sopron, no place in the country can boast as many important buildings and monuments, and no traveller to Transdanubia should miss it. Stroll 100m up pedestrian Baross Gábor utca from the bus or train station and you'll enter a world that has, in some regards, changed little since the 17th and 18th centuries.
