Review:

You can reach the elegant and culture-rich city of Pecs in three hours by train from Budapest. Pecs was awarded the title of “2010 European City of Culture” and its calm façade hides several important historic and cultural gems for you to discover, including the newly-established Zsolnay Cultural Quarter where you can admire an extensive collection of exquisite ceramics and other art. A few of the city’s must-see architectural delights include the impressive copper-domed Mosque of Pasha Qasim (now a Catholic church), the 11th century Pecs Cathedral and the intimate Csontváry Museum which features remarkable artworks by local Hungarian artist Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka. Foodies can enjoy delicious modern adaptations of traditional Hungarian favorites at many excellent restaurants and wine bars.
