Map of all the locations we review on Google



Page under construction  - March 2012

These pages are meant as a complete guide for the discerning tourist visiting Pécs.

Pécs is a compact city in the south of Hungary, but full of interesting history and experiences far surpassing any city of a similar size in the UK or USA. Here we focus not only on the most noted locations, but also some more out-of-the-way places where you can get the true authentic Hungarian experience.

If you are only in Pécs for a short while, see our Editor's Picks and One-day plan. Otherwise browse through our extensive reviews of what to do in and around Pécs. Note that we only review places we think you ought to be interested in so please, please don't be tempted to eat in a MacD's when there is so much good on offer.


We do not review hotels, since we thought that was the only category already well-covered.
