"The Rest of Sopron" Top 5 Page for this destination Sopron Favorite Tip by Ekaterinburg

Favorite thing: Obviously, Sopron exists outside the Old Town and I found my walk round its other areas extremely interesting as well. I know that on the outer edges there are some large malls which I saw ads for at the train station and that these are frequented by viitors from Austria and other countries as well as by the local people. Visitors stream into Sopron for dental and beauty treatments also and in certain parts of town every second premises holds a dental surgery.

But on the streets of the centre outside of the old town, everything had a nice 'small-town' feel about it. Corner shops, people chatting to each other as they did their shopping and a very laid back ambience. Nearer the station there was a much more eastern-European look to the town with some pretty bleak housing developments and the occasional patch of waste ground. The train staion in Sopron is a pleasant place with some comfortable armchairs right inside the front entrance and only two platforms to potentially get confused on.

Sopron is definitely well worth a visit. Don't miss it if you're in the area.
