Tourist Guide Gyor
Gyor is located in the north-western part of Hungary. This town of approximately 127,000 inhabitants has three rivers passing through it, giving it the title of ‘the town of rivers’.
Gyor has a temperate climate; summers are warm, and winters, cold and humid. The average temperature in summer is around 25°C.
Gyor prospered tremendously in the Middle Ages, because of its location. The three rivers gave it access to the trading activities in the area. At the end of the Middle Ages, the town was burnt down by its own ruler as he was unable to defend it. The town had to then be re-planned and reconstructed.
Today, Gyor is laid with several interesting monuments which attract tourists. It is also one of Hungary’s primary commercial centres.
