Gyor, 123km (76mi.) west of Budapest and 51km (32mi.) from the Austro-Hungarian border town of Hegyeshalom, lies at the confluence of the Mosoni-Duna (Danube), Rába and Rábca rivers, in the middle of the Little Hungarian Plain. It is the administrative capital of the Gyor-Moson-Sopron region and a major industrial, transport and cultural center.

The Old Town, with Cathedral Chapter Hill (Káptalan domb) and the Royal Town, is one of the most beautiful Renaissance and Baroque townscapes to be found anywhere in Hungary; 170 old buildings and other monuments are officially listed.
