Introducing Szombathely
Szombathely (German: Steinamanger) is a major crossroads in western Hungary, and most travellers in Western Transdanubia will eventually find themselves passing though it. That's not such a bad thing, as there is plenty to see and do here.

The city's name (som-bot-hay) translates as 'Saturday Place' and refers to the important weekend market held here in the Middle Ages. For Austrians who continue to cross the border at the end of the week in search of cheap edibles and services, it remains just that.
