Misina Peak
To the northwest of Pécs, up Fenyves sor and past the zoo, a winding road leads to Misina Peak and a TV tower, an impressive 194m structure with a viewing platform and café-bar. But these are just the foothills: from here, trails lead to the lovely towns of Orfű and Abaliget, on a plateau 15km and 20km to the northwest, respectively; and to Southern Transdanubia's highest peak, Zengő-hegy (682m).

Mosque Church

Today it's the Inner Town Parish Church (Belvárosi plébánia templom), more commonly known as the Mosque Church. It is the largest building still standing in Hungary from the time of the Turkish occupation.
