yőr, also known as the ’city of rivers’, derives its special atmosphere from the gentle embrace of its rivers. The four rivers with their picturesque turns: the
Moson Danube, the Rábca, the Marcal and the Rába river, which the city was originally named after, all invite us for romantic walks. We can even take a ride on a raft to marvel at the restaurants emerging from the ruins of the old fortress, the wonderful green belt and the shades of the aging trees, or to visit
the Radó Island, also known as the island of lovers. Visitors wanting to relax or re-energize are invited to enjoy the 67 degree C thermal water with its healing effect already mentioned in medieval chronicles. It has been certified as healing water beneficial to many ailments since 1978. The water rises from a 2000m-deep thermal fountain, and it is used by the Water Park complex for health, and recreational purposes. Through its superior services, the multifaceted
Health Spa and Water Park offer great possibilities for active recreation, healing and relaxation. Visitors may receive an unforgettable experience by going to swim outside on a winter night and taking in the beautifully lit historic downtown by snowfall while submerged in hot water. The open-air swimming pool of the city, originally designed by Alfréd Hajós in 1931, lies on a peaceful peninsula where the Moson Danube and the Rába rivers meet. The rivers of the city provide an all-year-round venue for the kayak, canoe, rowing and dragon boat races, where ‘the city of rivers’, true to its legacy, is successfully represented. The dead zone of the Marcal river surrounded by old willows and reeds is seventh heaven for anglers and other visitors who
seek relaxation here. The connections guaranteed by the Danube open up countless possibilities for Győr. The land of Szigetköz, the hilly landscape of Pannonhalma as well as the plains of Kisalföld all invite us to go on exciting excursions. We can even discover the great outdoors by bicycle. The river attracts visitors to the waterfront, and invites them for walks. It is especially characteristic of Győr, the romantic city of rivers, where the idyllic mood is enhanced by concerts and spectacular shows on the water stage. While taking a walk on the banks of the four rivers, one can appreciate the beautiful sights. The recectly built
Jedlik Ányos bridge spanning over the Moson Danube is a great addition to the city’s multiple colors and lights. It was given to the public in 2010. In the heart of Győr,
also known as Gate of The West, water plays a unique role on the renovated Széchenyi square: The in-ground musical fountain with pop-jets to 0,5 – 3m operating heights has become the favorite spot for relaxation among residents and tourists alike, and is considered one of its kind in our country.

yőr is one of the most beautiful cities of Hungary, an important cultural center, an Episcopal seat well known for the meeting of rivers and a city full of history. Győr can be characterized by many outstanding facets and the
beautiful baroque downtown is a real ‘jewel box’. In this city that is full of monuments (Győr is ranked 3rd in Hungary), historic palaces, unique corner balconies and statues, the visitors are invited to take a trip back in time. When arriving from Vienna or Budapest our view is first directed to the imposing symbol of the city, the neo-renaissance city hall. From its 59 meters high tower, on the hour, we can hear a traditional melody from Szigetköz, a region near to Győr. It is hard to recognize the downtown from years previous due to the continuous renovations.
Széchenyi Square, the main square of the city, is considered one of the most beautiful baroque squares of East-Central Europe. The downtown is full of cozy cafés with terraces, and the flowery windows in the romantic alleys invite us all to take a pleasant walk. Sitting in Széchenyi Square with its Mediterranean style terraces we can discover behind the water vapor of the in-
ground fountain the building complex of the Benedictines that hides the only operating Museum-Pharmacy of Hungary, the Abbot house that houses the János Xántus Museum, the baroque style old town hall, as well as the ‘Iron Stump’ house. Walking in the downtown it is worth visiting the ‘favorite animal’ of the city in Dunakapu (Danube Gate) Square, the Iron Rooster, which is from the Turkish era. Győr is also one of the most significant cities of Hungary in regards to sacral treasures. The oldest and most well known building of the city is the Basilica, which is situated next to the Rába River, on Chapter Hill. One of the most significant Christian relics of Hungary,
so-called ‘dark chapel’, a copy of the Loreto-House in Italy and admire a copy of the original statue of the Black Madonna. The Sforza Bastion of the castle of Győr stands on the Vienna Gate Square, which is surrounded by baroque houses. The bastion is the only part of the medieval fortification that has remained untouched. On the other side of the river we can find the only part of a city in Europe in that churches of 5 different religions were built next to each other, among them a neolog synagogue. The city of Győr is continuously developing but at the same time it is preserving its old values and the historical baroque buildings. It is worth getting to know the real

Győr, Hungary’s third richest city in monuments
history of Győr – in the prison of the Old Town Hall in Rákóczi Ferenc Street – was the heroin of Mór Jókai novel, the ‘White Woman of Lőcse’, Mrs. Julianna Géczy Korponai? The woman accused of espionage was executed after a long litigation on 25th September 1715 at 11 o’clock in the market square of the ancient castle of Győr, which is presently Széchenyi Square. The executioner knocked off her beautiful head in front of a huge crowd with an ax.

Did you know that Karl May, the German writer who sold the most
books ever, modeled the figure of Old Shatterhand on János Xántus, whose name honors a museum and the zoo in Győr? The letter in which May asks for permission from the extensive traveler and explorer can still be seen in the Karl May Museum in Dresden. In the Winnetou stories a certain rifle called the Henry Carbine has an important role. The silver-plated carbine that wears the name of John Xantus can be seen in the János Xantus Museum in Győr.
Győr, the City of Children C
the annual Kids’ Festival organized on the first weekend in July has grown into an international phenomenon. From the smiley photos used as admission tickets over the years one could build a road several thousands of kilometers long. At the 4-day-long festival organized on 10 venues with a 1000 programs everything caters to the young ones. As the slogan goes, the entrance fee is only the children’s smiley photo that lets them into all the programs, while children enjoy free services at restaurants, hotels and pensions. Children ride free on the city’s public transportation system as well as on their way to Győr by bus or train.
The Kids’ Festival is accompanied by the Kids’ Olympic Games, where teams can compete in 4 different sports events on many different locations of the city. Coaches full of children arrive at this exciting competition from many parts of the country, as well as from the twin cities of Győr. Fortunately, the creative team of the ‘Iron Rooster Puppet Theatre’ of Győr
does not only charm children of all ages on that weekend, but it entertains them from week to week with sold-out shows in the story palace of the puppet theatre. The first, unique Children’s Museum of the country that ushers its small guests into the world of art in a creative and exciting way, was also opened in Győr. The Children’s House is home to arts and crafts courses and quiz shows from week to week. Moreover, in the city also known as the ‘Gate of the West’, special attention is paid to the young children through the theatre programs and the summer events that are aimed at them. The International Doll Exhibition is also for the sake of the children, but even adults can enjoy a special experience if they visit the most beautiful Baroque palace of the city, the Zichy Palace.
Győr is proud of the János Xantus Zoo that has improved and gotten more beautiful over the years. The births of Chico, the jaguar baby and Maximus, the baby hooded capuchin monkey created a real media sensation. Győr nowadays is also known as the city of playgrounds, because the city was the first one to get rid of the outmoded playground equipment in
the country. The municipality of Győr spent more than 650 million HUF on building all over the city almost a 100 safe, skill-developing playgrounds and parks that meet the requirements of the European Union. At the festivals and cultural events of Győr there are always exciting attractions for children, beginning from medieval jousts through the Kids’ Baroque Ball to flying lampions. The Children’s Hut at the Book Fair in Győr also aims at making children smile. The soon-tobe-opened
‘Mobilis’ Interactive Exhibition Centre will bring the sciences within arm’s reach near the children in a playful manner. Kids are hoped to be educated to lead a healthy lifestyle, and to love sports through free sports events.

Zsolt Borkai, the mayor of Győr won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988, where he scored 10 points on the pommel horse despite being injured at the time.

It is by no chance that plans for a mega-sports arena with a huge capacity to entertain thousands and be home to even bigger sports events in the future, are underway in Győr. Zsolt Borkai, the mayor of the city as well as the President of the Hungarian Olympic Committee is a staunch supporter of improvements in Hungarian sport, and works for an increase in national and local sport successes.
13 Győr, the Sporty City
owadays Győr is not only referred to as the City of Meetings and Rivers, but also as the sportiest city of Hungary. Thanks to the active and successful sport-life of Győr, Mr. Zsolt Borkai – the former Olympic Champion in gymnastics and current mayor of the City– received in 2010 the prize of the ‘Sportiest City’ that acknowledged the sport policy and success of the city. This recognition rightly reflects the outstanding achievement of the clubs and sportsmen of Győr, as well as the exemplary decision of the city’s management regarding the support of sport. Namely,

that the City of Győr is home to the Hungarian factory of AUDI? Audi is one of the most popular car producers in the world, its German center can be found in Ingolstadt. Since 2008 this German city has been one of 9 twin cities of Győr. Audi Hungaria Motor Ltd. has thousands of employees in Győr, and this is the only factory in the world where the Audi TT sport cars and Audi A3 Cabriolet cars are assembled. In 2010 the 500,000th car rolled down the factory line in Győr.

yőr is a dynamically developing, innovative city due to its excellent geographic situation, developed industry and skilled workforce.
In the golden triangle, between Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava, near the airport of Pér and the M1 highway, the county seat of the Kisalföld has become one of the largest economic and industrial centers of Hungary. There have been ongoing consultations between the municipal leaders and the directors of the larger corporations for many years. It is believed that this is one of the reasons why the vocational education of the city has transformed in such a way that the demands of labor of the investors coming to Győr are fulfilled with the local labor market supply.
The Industrial Park of the city has been recently expanded for the seventh time and it now gives home to companies from more than 14 countries on some hundreds of acres. Due to conscious city planning and the attractiveness of Győr, AUDI is going to invest approximately 252 million HUF into the expansion of its car-production facility by the end of 2013. The factory in Győr will result in a complex car-production facility that will provide the city with more than a thousand new workplaces. The TT Coupé, which is produced at the factory, could be called a ‘Hungaricum’, because the wonderful sports car is produced only in Győr and nowhere else in the world.
Széchenyi István University is the flagship of expert-training and it has close connections to the city as well. The creativity of the students is shown in the fact that the solar car of the SZEnergy Team has won many international awards and at the European Competition in 2010 it was the
only car that managed to produce more energy than it consumed. The cooperation of the Municipality, the Audi and the University is a pledge that will lead to continuous development in the future. The university is undergoing an infrastructure development of more than billion Forints with the support of the European Union. In addition, the local government, using its own resources, has completed the new bridge of Győr,
the Ányos Jedlik Bridge, which stands next to the university. This investment is connected to a huge road development on both sides of the river. The cooperation of the city and the university was exemplified at the opening of the bridge when the solar car designed by the students of the university was the first vehicle to roll over the new bridge of Győr. In 2012
the Mobilis Interactive Exhibition Centre is going to open its doors. This center will present the miracles of car-production in a spectacular form through interactive exhibitions and demonstrations that will help young people decide if they would like to choose a career in this field.

The county seat of the Kisalföld is an enjoyable place for people of all ages. It is a university-city situated within a dynamic city that is a favorite place of families and the home of pensioners.
The special attraction of Győr is that it is a dynamically developing industrial city, but it’s much more than that, because its vivid cultural life, its outstanding sport results, its marvelous sacred relics, and the inviting streets and terraces of its downtown make it whole and create a truly vibrant European city. The preservation of the relics of different historic eras, the restoration of the baroque downtown, as well as the development of tourism and modern industries give the city its own special character. While walking in Győr we can experience how a city can be traditional and modern at the same time. The two universities attract tens of thousands of students and among them are exchange students from all over the world.
The nine twin cities of Győr guarantee the meeting of nations, because they are permanent participants in the cultural life and festivals of the city. If we discover Győr with our families or with our friends,
the city of rivers will surely have interesting sites and programs for us. The pubs and university clubs of the city are a favorite meeting point of young people, where they can be entertained in a safe and fabulous atmosphere. The diversity of Győr is also shown in its outstanding results in different areas of life: in 2010 the city received awards for the
‘Hungarian City of Culture’, the ‘Sportiest City’, the ‘Elderly Friendly Municipality of Hungary’ and for the ‘Tourinform Office of the Year’. In Győr health, culture and innovation meet, this reaffirming the slogan of the city: We are building the future in Győr!

Did you know that in Győr the Iron Rooster weather vane crows
Legends and true stories of Győr
every year? The Iron Rooster Festive Games commemorate the local legend from 1598 that after being here for 4 long years, the Turks were expelled from the city. The pretentious Turks proudly boasted that Győr would only be recaptured by the Hungarians if the Iron Rooster started to crow. At the night of the siege a brave Hungarian boy climbed up the tower and started to imitate the sound of the Rooster. At daybreak the Hungarian soldiers recaptured the castle of Győr.
The well-known symbol of the city of Győr, the Iron Rooster was erected on the Danube Gate Square by the Turks in 1594, after they had conquered the city. The leader of the invading troops believed that the castle was impossible to capture and he proudly predicted: Győr would only be in Christian hands again if the Iron Rooster started to crow and the half moon below it would turn into a full moon. Four years later as the Hungarian troops aiming at recapture the castle reached the Fejérvár Gate, one brave cavalryman climbed up to the Iron Rooster and waited until daybreak. In the dawn light he imitated the crow of the rooster, and as the rays of the rising sun hit the half moon it made it look full. The Turks thought that the prophecy had come true and their God had taken the side of the Hungarians. In the huge panic they exploded their barrels full of gunpowder and due to this they decided the end of the battle.
One of the most beautiful baroque monuments of Győr is the Arc of Covenant, which stands on the Gutenberg Square. The statue has an interesting story: in 1729 a soldier accused of bigamy and using a false name fled to the Jesuit monastery for sanctuary. The city guards put the building under blockade, thus preventing the escape of the deserter. However, the bishop thought out a plan: on the feast of Corpus Christi they traditionally held a procession in the town, so he gave the soldier altar-boy clothes to help him escape from his fellow-soldiers. He was unfortunately recognized despite all of these efforts. In the ensuing melee the monstrance fell out of the hands of the bishop and it broke into pieces. Even the Emperor’s court in Vienna heard of this sacrilege, and King Charles III ordered that the inhabitants of Győr should ask for the forgiveness of God with this statue. And why does the monument illustrate the Ark of the Covenant? According to the legend the broken pieces of the blessed sacrament of the Eucharist and monstrance were put into the sealed ark, and since then the angels have guarded them.
The ‘White Woman’ of Lőcse
Picture of the Weeping Madonna
Ányos Jedlik and the wine spritzer
The house got its name from the iron nail-tree on its corner. In 1833 Mátyás Zittrisch, a grocer, bought the building and he placed a tree trunk coated with iron bands and nails, copying the “Stock im Eisen” in Vienna, on the corner of the house. According to the traditions the traveling young craftsmen hit a nail into this stump as a memory of the time they had spent in the city.
The well-known heroin of the novel of Mór Jókai, the ‘white woman of Lőcse’, Mrs. Julianna Ghéczy Korponai was imprisoned in the old Town Hall from April 1713. She was accused of having helped the emperor’s troops occupy the city of Lőcse during the Rákóczi war of independence. In fact she only had a diplomatic role – she transmitted letters and messages between the two sides before the city capitulated – but according to the propaganda the city fell because of her treason. After a long lengthy trial she was beheaded on Széchenyi Square, the ancient market square of Győr, on 25th September 1715 in front of a huge crowd. Her story was immortalized by Mór Jókai in his novel entitled ‘The White Woman of Lőcse’.
The painting that can be seen in the northern nave of the Basilica was brought to Győr by Walter Lynch, a bishop of Ireland, when he fled from the persecution of the Catholics by Oliver Cromwell. Some decades later there was a new wave of persecution of the Catholics in Ireland and it is at this time that every bishop of the country was exiled. On the day of the Parliament’s resolution, on 17th March 1697, which is the feast of the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, bloody tears rolled down the eyes of the Madonna. The tears were mopped up with a white linen cloth that was later framed and attested to by bishop Ferenc Zichy. The blood – though pale – still can be seen on the cloth that is kept in the Diocesan Treasury. From this time on the Cathedral of Győr has been a place of pilgrimage and the holy picture is still highly respected.
Maybe only a few people know that the list of Hungarian inventions is enriched by a very popular drink, the wine spritzer (wine with soda water), which was invented by a Benedictine monk, teacher and physician of Győr. Previously, mineral water that often had to be transported huge distances was the favorite drink in numerous monasteries. Due to the terrible road conditions the carbon dioxide was shaken out of the water. To solve this problem Jedlik invented the soda water, which in turn was only one step away from the popular wine spritzer. Every year the city of Győr organizes a ‘Wine Spritzer Festival’ to honor this creation.
Saint László Reliquary
Statue of Károly Kisfaludy
Our knighted king, St. László was laid to rest in Nagyvárad, the pieces of his skull were placed into a golden-silver reliquary that was decorated with wire enamel. After being chosen to be the bishop of Győr, the bishop of Nagyvárad brought this reliquary to the city as gift. The respect for this holy king spread greatly after the earthquake in 1763. The faithful were prayed to St. László to protect Győr from the earthquake. The city was not heavily damaged, therefore on 27th June 1763 Bishop Ferenc Zichy organized a huge thanksgiving feast and he decreed that the reliquary be taken on a procession every year around the town.
The bronze statue of the writer born near Győr, in Tét, stands on the Vienna Gate Square. Many legends are connected to the statue: if we take a look at the figure of Kisfaludy, we can see papers and a pen in his hands. As Győr is also known as the city of education because of its numerous reputable schools, in the morning we can see lots of diligent pupils hurrying to school in the downtown. Kisfaludy looks around the square shortly before 8 o’clock, and he notes down the names of pupils who are late to school. On his paper he also has a record of the cars parking in the ‘no parking’ zone in the square. As we now see, after his death, the renowned Hungarian poet and dramatist is still busy working for the city.
