Whenever staying in Hungary it is worth visiting the southern region of the country with its gem Pécs,the city that has won 'The European Capital of Culture in 2010'title. Situated at the southern foot of the Mecsek Hills the settlement enjoys a sub-mediterranean climate and is abundant in unique sights from its Early Christian burial chambers (part of the UNESCO worldheritage) and millennium-old cathedral, through its Turkish mosques -the westernmost buildings of the sort- to the home of the world-famous Zsolnay Porcelain Manufactureand Museum of Zsolnay eozin. Visiting these sights you can enjoy the historical air of the old city surrounded by castle walls and as a local citizen who was born here I initiate you to the stories and joyful atmosphere of the town in a charming terraced café then drive you up the hills to see a panoramic view over the region to the borders of Hungary and Croatia from the TV-tower.

Whether interested in folk art, the neighbourhood hides tiny villages with their hand-painted coffer ceilings in reformed churches and you may find your favourites among the special black pottery works of the region. Culinary exploration maybe also a part of your tour trying local delicassies and enjoying the large choice of wines in cellars. Nature lovers and photographers of the wild life are welcome to clicking their cameras in the National Park of the area populated by wild deers, foxes, and reed wolves.
