Stayed in Győr

Route

On another rainy day I walked into the centre of Győr, where I had a lunch in an all-vegan café. I then walked around the city centre and the nearby area of Sziget, visiting many beautiful Churches, an impressive Basilica and a large, ornate Synagogue.

Both Saint Ignatius’ Church and the Basilica had some renovation work going on but fortunately I was still able to go inside.

My thanks to the kind lady at the Greek Catholic Church who let me visit even though it was closed at the time.
