Győr in 1 day
The square, the cathedral hill before noon while the treasury is open, Radó Island after noon, and the water or a museum to end the day.
- How long
- 1 day
- Getting there
- MÁV train, Keleti to Győr
- JAURINUM treasury
- Mon–Sat 10–12 and 14–17
A day in Győr runs to an order the hours on Káptalan hill dictate: the treasury is open only before noon and after 14:00, and the Apor exhibition is guided at 11 and 15. So the hill goes before noon and the island is left for later.
From Széchenyi tér to Radó Island
Széchenyi tér and the climb to Káptalan hill. The Legenda Aurea exhibition and the Bishop's Castle tower open at 10, €4.14 and €5.52.
The guided visit to the memorial exhibition of Blessed Vilmos Apor, €4.14. It is guided only at 11 and 15.
JAURINUM, the cathedral treasury, €4.14. It closes at 12 before noon, and on Sunday it opens only at 15.
Lunch, halászlé or gulyásleves, in town; the cathedral is free, just not during services.
The Rómer Flóris Museum in the Esterházy Palace, Tuesday–Sunday 10–18; it is shut on Monday, so that day swaps it for an extra hour on the hill.
Radó Island (Radó-sziget), free, a park on the Rába raised in 1660–1670 as a fortress bastion.
Water or a viewpoint. Rába Quelle is a water park, €13.52 (Mon–Thu), €19.04 (Fri–Sun) on a day ticket, and it counts as the rest of the day.
