Pécs is the fifth largest city of Hungary and the country’s largest university town with a mediterranean atmoshpere. It is a gateway to Croatia, the Balkans and the Northern Italian region. Mysterious Roman crypts, domed Turkish mosques and a slender Minaret, fine Zsolnay porcelain, grand Csontváry paintings, decorative Vasarely patterns, pleasant restaurants and cafés – this is all Pécs, a 2000-year-old city at the foot of the Mecsek Mountains. Close to the city you can find the holiday resort of Orfű with its three lakes, castles from the Turkish era in Siklós and Szigetvár, the spa retreats of Sikonda and Harkány, the Mecsek Mountains and the famous wineries of Villány.
