Cities in Western Transdanubia
Gyor

Gyor is located halfway between Vienna and Budapest. The city was founded by the Celts in the 5th century BCE; it was also a Roman settlement in the province of Pannonia called Arrabona. The buildings you will see in the city today were built from the time of the Renaissance, when Gyor saw a resurgence, to the 19th century, when it boomed as a port on the Danube River. Gyor is in fact located at the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, the Raba, and the Rabca.
Sopron

Sopron, the westernmost town in Hungary, is a popular vacation destination located just a few miles from the largest lake in Central Europe, Lake Neusiedl (known as Ferto in Hungarian). In the last few decades, Sopron`s Baroque downtown is attracting quite a few tourists from abroad, as do the vineyards in the region which produce both red and white wines. About 15 miles to the east, you will find the `Hungarian Versailles`, the ornate 126-room Eszterhaza Palace, which was built in the 1760s by Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy.
Sarvar

Sarvar has been tied very closely to many noteworthy moments in Hungarian culture, such as the publication of the first Hungarian book using the Gutenberg printing press, a translation of the New Testament, in 1541. The printing press was located in Nadasdy Castle, owned by the family of the same name. Today, Sarvar, located on the Raba River, is known for its collection of thermal spas, which offer medicinal water for bathing and consumption. Artifacts from Sarvar`s past are displayed at the Ferenc Nadasdy Museum.
Regions of Hungary
Budapest
Budapest, Hungary`s capital, is two cities in one! Buda is on a hill and Pest is on a plain, with both sides separated by the Danube River and connected by four magnificent bridges. Budapest is one of Europe`s most delightful and enjoyable cities. It throbs with life morning, noon and night.
Transdanubia
Transdanubia comprises roughly the western half of Hungary and includes many popular destinations and sights, such as Pannonhalma Archabbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the cities of Gyor and Pécs; spa towns such as Sarvar and Szekesfehervar; and of course the enduringly popular Lake Balaton.
Great Hungarian Plain
The Great Hungarian Plain comprises much of eastern Hungary. It is known for such historic cities as Debrecen and Szeged, both integral places in Hungary`s fight for independence and to the country`s culture. Hortobagy National Park, Europe`s largest grassland, is also located here.

WESTERN TRANSDANUBIA

Western Transdanubia consists of the three westernmost counties in Hungary, which sit in 'the foot of the Alps'. The northern portion consists of the Sopron Mountains, named for Sopron, Hungary's westernmost town. It sits just two miles from the shores of Lake Neusiedl (or Ferto in Hungarian). The largest city in Western Transdanubia is Gyor. Close to Gyor, you will find the Pannonhalma Archabbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Due east of the southern Alpokalja is where the town of Sarvar is located, the site of the first book printing in the Hungarian language. This region is well-known for its thermal spas, and each of these cities offers at least one famous thermal spa.
