Pécs European Capital of Culture 2010

by budapest8 - last update: Apr 19, 2007

Pecs city and it's history

Pecs Synagogue

I started these pages back in Febuary 2001 and have now
decided to update them to the new VTML format.
I was absent from VT for a few years so hope to keep my
pages updated now.
I will be adding a lot more text and pictures soon...
so be patient. This is just for starters...
Pécs (pronounced paitch)
Pécs is the fifth largest town in Hungary with a population of approx. 180,000.
Situated south of Trans-Danubia, close to the border of Croatia,
weatherwise it's mild, almost Mediterranean climate.


I think the best way to travel is to take the Inter-City train from Keleti Station
in Budapest, it is fast and most comfortable,
( unless you have a stretch limo or private jet)
and has a bar and restaurant
onboard, the journey takes about 2hrs and 40 mins. There are direct
coach services to several towns in Germany, Slovakia and Poland.
Also trains to Serbia.

Pros:"Pecs is were you can experiance real Hungarian town life."
Cons:"Not as developed as Budapest and lacking in some of the facilities."
In A Nutshell:"A place for a romantic or peaceful weekend"

 Nice page about Pecs. If I travel to Hungary next time I will certainly visit this interesting town. Üdvezlet Boroszlóról. I wish I could speak Hungarian.
