The best time for Győr is May–Sep, because the island on the Rába is then a place to walk and Pannonhalma is open until 17:00, in summer until 18:00. In winter its hours shrink to 10–16.
If you only pick one month — June. Temperature is the mean over the whole day (not the daily high), and a rainy day has at least 1 mm of rain; averages for 2021–2024.
June falls in Pannonhalma's summer hours (1 Jun–30 Aug), when the abbey is open every day, so the trip does not depend on the day of the week. Outside summer Monday drops out, and from December to February it opens at 10:00 and closes at 16:00.
Pannonhalma by season
The archabbey runs on three schedules: 1 Jun–30 Aug daily 9–18; Mar–May and Sep–Nov Tuesday–Sunday 9–17; Dec–Feb Tuesday–Sunday 10–16; tickets until an hour before closing. Closed: Monday (except in summer); 24–26 and 31 December and 1 January. In summer the trip fits any day; outside summer Monday drops out.
The cathedral hill
Legenda Aurea, the Bishop's Castle tower and the Apor exhibition keep one schedule, daily 10–18; tickets until 30 min before closing. The JAURINUM treasury keeps another, Mon–Sat 10–12 and 14–17; Sun 15–17, so it sets the order: the treasury before noon, Apor at 11 or 15.
Rába Quelle and public holidays
The day ticket is cheaper on a weekday, €13.52 (Mon–Thu), €19.04 (Fri–Sun), and public holidays are charged at the weekend price. Anyone going for the park as a separate part of the day picks Monday to Thursday.
