Győr is the sixth largest city in Hungary, with just under 130,000 inhabitants. Its excellent
geographical location, advanced industry, and highly qualified workforce make it one of the most
dynamically developing innovative cities of the country. The so-called Golden Triangle of Vienna,
Budapest and Bratislava, the airport in Pér, the international river harbour in Gönyű, the
international railroad connections, as well as the M1 highway have helped Győr to become one of
the most important economic and industrial centres in Hungary.
Situated near the confluence of no fewer than four rivers, Győr is truly "a city of rivers." Its
atmosphere is dominated by the Moson Danube meandering through the city, as well as its erstwhile
eponymous Rába (Raab). One may as well go punting or on a boat trip to discover the architectural
monuments of Győr, but walking through the inner city allows one to roam amidst mansions from
historic periods, characteristic corner balconies, and statues. It is worth visiting the basilica, founded
almost a millennium ago, where one can behold one of Hungary's national relics, the Herma of St
Ladislaus. The tower of the Bishop's Palace opens a panoramic perspective on the city, with the view
extending as far as Pannonhalma, some 20 kilometres from Győr, where the Benedictine Arch-abbey
is located – one of Hungary's 8 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Standard business hours for government offices and banks on weekdays are from 8:00 to 16:00.
These offices are normally closed on Saturday and Sunday.
Business hours for shops from Monday to Friday are from 7:00 to 20:00.
Most of the shops are also open on Saturday (from 7:00 to 18:00) and Sunday (8:00 to 18:00) as well.
There are shops which are open 24/7.
The voltage of Hungarian electric networks is 220 V (F wall sockets are used).
Hungarian Forints (HUF) are the official currency of Hungary since 1 August 1946.
Currently, the following coins and banknotes are in use:
Coins: 5; 10; 20; 50; 100; 200 HUF
Banknotes: 500; 1000; 2000; 5000; 10,000; 20,000 HUF
