Győr is located in the north-western part of Hungary, close to the Slovakian and the Austrian borders. The seat of Győr-Moson-Sopron County is situated on one of the important roads of Central Europe, halfway between Budapest and Vienna.
The area has been inhabited since ancient times. The first large known settlement, named Arrabona by its Celtic inhabitants, dates back to the 5th century BC. Győr has an enchanting centre and is abundant in beautiful Baroque buildings. The oldest part of the town is Káptalan Hill at the confluence of the Danube, Rába and Rábca rivers. Today, Győr is one of the most important administrative and cultural centres of Hungary. The city is also a university town and a popular tourist destination.
The nearby Benedictine Archabbey of Pannonhalma is well worth visiting.
