Gyöngyös

Hungary

Orczy palace of Orczy family.

Gyöngyös is a small town in Hungary, west of Mátra, the highest of the Hungarian mountain ranges.

The Church on the central square is nice.

Take a narrow gauge train into the vineyards and further to Matra mountains.

  • "Kékes Étterem" (restaurant): it's in the central square of the city. It may be one of the best restaurants in Hungary (food is excellent and the service matches the food), though its looks could have been improved.

This is one of the famous wine producing regions. Try some of their whites!
