Szombathely Attractions

 
Szombathely, about 50km (31mi.) as the crow flies south of Sopron on the eastern edge of the Alps, is the second largest economic and cultural center in West Transdanubia. This busy industrial town (agricultural machinery, precision engineering, shoes, textiles) is the administrative seat of the Vas region with a teacher training college and a renowned art gallery; the Savaria festivals take place in summer. Only a few buildings remain of the Late Baroque town, as much of Szombathely was destroyed in the Second World War.

History

Since the Stone Age the town was situated on important trade routes; the Bernstein road linking Italy with the Baltic ran past here.
