The town richest in monuments in all of Hungary lies near the Austrian border, surrounded by vineyards and the pine-covered Lover Hills. Its enchanting architecture, beautiful surroundings and subalpine climate make it a ""must see"". It was awarded the Europe Nostra prize in 1975.
Sopron is called the most faithful town in Hungary because its citizens voted in a referendum in 1921 that the town should remain a part of Hungary. This is noteworthy because a significant part of Sopron's population was of German origin.
The street and square system surrounding the downtown is very inviting. Tourists find the small trade-houses and the elegant new shops very attractive.
In the hills around Lake Ferto we find the wine region of Sopron, the true home of dry red wines. With its glorious deep red colour, the kekfrankos of Sopron is a truly full-bodied wine, with a strong character, and you can count on a savour not available in other regions.
The popular Tomalom Baths can be reached by local bus. Nearby, in the residential area of Sopronbanfalva, we can see the impressive Carmelite Church with its baroque stairs and monastery.
