Hungary Sopron Travel Guide 2024: Everything you need to know

The city of Sopron is located in the most western part of Hungary on an isthmus of land that pokes into Austria, near Lake Fertö (Lake Neusiedl).

Only 75 kilometers south of Vienna, it is directly west of Lake Fertő, the Fertőtáj UNESCO World Heritage site, and makes a great day trip or a stopover between Lake Balaton and Vienna. I love this city for lots of reasons.

It is a charming medieval village with quirky theatre groups, a firewatch tower, Hungarian dumplings, goulash, great Sopron wine served in unique Buschenschank or Poncichter wine taverns.

In this travel guide, you’ll find a brief history of Sopron, why and how to visit, what to see, what’s unique about this little city, and where to stay.

Q. How is Sopron pronounced?

A. Sopron is pronounced, “Shop-ron.”

Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈʃopron]; German: Ödenburg, Slovene: Šopron. Hyphenation: Sop‧ron

Sopron is one of those magical hidden places in Europe. Its history includes its origins as part of the Roman Empire when it was known as the walled city of Scarbantia.

Scarbantia is still here – its Forum building and old Roman city walls have been excavated and are right next to the old town main square.

A Free Royal City

During the 9th–11th centuries, the Hungarians came to Scarbantia, built a castle, and named the town Suprun after a castle steward named Suprun.

The children of Sopron’s nobility were held hostage by the Hungarians but the people seem to always have good political radar. When the Hungarian King, King Ladislaus IV arrived at the city with his armies, the city opened its gates for them. The King rewarded Sopron with the rank of a “free royal town.”

It was also during these early centuries of Sopron’s growth as a city that many Croatians settled in the area to tend the abandoned farms. The long history of Croatian settlement around Sopron is why the Croatian language is one of the recognized languages of the region including Hungarian and German.

The most loyal town in Hungary

In the 16th century, the Ottomans occupied most of Hungary, but Ottoman Turks who ravaged Scarbantia in 1529 didn’t occupy the town and the region north of Lake Balaton remained a part of Hungary. As a result, the city’s importance grew as it became a refuge for Hungarians fleeing the Ottomans.

During the early part of the 20th century, this part of Hungary was settled by Germans as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Sopron became known as Odenburg in Germany.

It was during the aftermath of WWI when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was broken up that the German-controlled areas of northwestern Hungary were given to Austria.

The local people didn’t welcome this and local unrest was rife. Because of it, a plebiscite was held in 1921 and the surrounding eight villages and Sopron voted to remain Hungarian. This date became an annual city holiday and reminds ins residents of Sopron’s status as the most loyal town in Hungary.

War and the 20th Century

The past century was a tumultuous one. Sopron suffered greatly in World War II from bombings, invasions, and its eventual capture by the Soviets in 1945. Under Soviet rule, the socialist government attempted to turn Sopron into an industrial city. Sopron did manage to maintain its medieval town center and many of its landmarks.

In 1989 Sopron was a catalyst for the mass flight of East German citizens escaping to the west during the Pan-European Picnic. This was a protest held on the borders of Hungary and Austria.

The lifting of the Iron Curtain created a well-known moment when hundreds of citizens could escape from the GDR. This successful crossing paved the way for the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall in November of 1989.

Sopron Today

The modern-day city we see today is a part of the European Union. It has turned its economy around and now recognizes the heritage of Sopron’s German-speaking culture. It has become an officially bilingual city with both Hungarian and German used for traffic, street, and direction signage.

The Castle district was once enclosed by the city’s walls. It has been refurbished in a major urban architecture project, as has been Syzlenski square, making Sopron’s inner city a great place to walk around.

Győr is the county seat of Győr-Moson-Sopron county and the other main towns around Sopron are Mosonmagyaróvár and Kapuvár. Being so close to the Austrian border and with great transportation links, Sopron is popular with day-trippers and people traveling between Budapest or Lake Balaton and Vienna.

The population of Sopron is around 63,000 citizens with 10% of the population being Croatian which is why you will also see Croatian signs around the area (and why there are some great Croatian pubs here)!

Sopron is located just beyond the Austrian frontier and Lake Fertő . Vienna is only 75 km away from Sopron and Hungary’s capital, Budapest, is only 200 kilometers to the east. Visitors also come from Slovakia as well as international destinations.

One of the reasons for Sopron’s popularity is that it has become known as the “dental capital of the world” and offers first-class dental treatment that is affordable.

Sopron is within easy reach of Vienna by car and you can take the A2 from Vienna to the A3 and then onto the Sopron exit directly to the city.

From Vienna, trains leave for Sopron every hour . The journey will take around 1 hour and 20 minutes and Sopron is the last stop on the line. This means that Sopron is an ideal day trip from Vienna.

Sopron can also be reached from the nearest international airports, which are Vienna and Bratislava. There are direct trains from both cities although you must take the train from the airport to the central train stations in both cities.

Bratislava is only a one-hour drive, or 2 hrs and 48 minutes by train, connecting through Győr.

I can think of so many reasons to visit and so many things to do, including exploring the old Castle district: its baroque Main Square with its cobbled streets, fascinating medieval houses, renaissance architecture, and old Roman archaeological site in the middle of town.

Then there’s the lovely Croatian pubs and Hungarian cafes and restaurants, the best local wines from the vineyards in the Sopron hills, and even inexpensive dental work – what else do you need?

Did I mention the centuries-old monasteries converted into ridiculously cheap accommodations around Sopron?

Baroque architecture, cobblestone squares, museums, churches, wine taverns, and a fire watch tower can all be seen in one day. An overnight stay in Sopron will give you two full days of exploring the city.

A third day will allow you to get out into the Sopron hills, the wine district, and Lake Fertö or to see one of Sopro’s many festivals such as the Fairy Festival.

Below are all the main sights in the old city (the Castle district).

Old Town Main Square

On the Northern side of Old Town, Sopron is the main square (Fő tér), which is surrounded by beautiful and elegant architecture.

The center of the square’s focus is the Holy Trinity Column which is a striking baroque monument erected to commemorate the end of the Black Death. It was erected in 1701 and by the end of the 18th century, it had become an important symbol to the people of Sopron. Decorated with figures of patrons and saints the monument was a tribute of gratitude to God for ending the plague.

The square itself encompasses the City Hall (Eggenberg House), Storno-ház (opposite City Hall), and Fabricius-ház (see below). At Christmas time, it is also the site of the Christmas market.

The Storno- ház (Storno House) is one of cities grandest baroque buildings that date back to the 15th century. It is now a museum that holds the treasures of Ferenc Storno and his family.

It’s worth seeing inside Storno House not just because of its grand baroque architecture, but also because its rooms are decorated with stunning antiques including furniture, paintings, arms, weapons, and china and glass treasures collected by the family over the centuries.

Storno House, Sopron, 8, Main Square Tel.: 99-311-327 During the works to the Museum Quarter, the Storno House exhibitions are closed. January-December: Tuesday-Sunday: 10.00-18.00 On Mondays, the exhibition is closed.

Fazbricius-há z (Fabricius house)

Fabricius-ház is, strangely, Hungary’s first national monument. It was given the title by King Louis II. Its Gothic Hall is especially worth seeing.

Fabricius-ház means “Two Moors house” and contains two very different types of museums. The first displays items used in everyday Storno life from centuries past.

But this 14th-century Baroque house with 17th and18th-century interiors also contains excavated treasures from the Roman period. This is quite a fitting modern-day use of the building, as a Roman bath has been discovered in the basement and it is now a dedicated space for a Roman lapidary museum.

Fabricius House, Sopron, 6, Main Square Tel.: 99-311-327 During the work to the Museum Quarter, the Fabricius House exhibitions are closed. January-December: Tuesday-Sunday: 10.00-18.00. On Mondays, the exhibition is closed.

The Goat Church

The Church of the Assumption in the main square is nicknamed the Goat Church. Why “Goat Church”?Local stories say a goat herder uncovered a treasure on the site and you will see on the Holy Trinity Column a goat being hugged by an angel.

A gothic church, the interior is mainly Baroque with a stunning red marble pulpit. The church is decorated with fading frescos and animal stone carvings representing human’s deadly sins. it is the main Roman Catholic church in the city and Coronations were once held here, as well as sessions of Parliament.

Tűztorony (Firewatch Tower)

The iconic landmark and the de facto symbol of the city is the Tűztorony or Fire Tower which stands 58 meters high. Watchmen used to stand on the balcony to warn the people of encroaching fires and potential enemies.

The watchmen were also known for their musical prowess and were often a feature of weddings and celebrations taking place in the center of town. The tower itself stands on Roman foundations and consists of several architectural styles including a baroque crest placed on top in 1676.

1676 was the year in which much of the town was destroyed by fire. The city was rebuilt over the next few decades with Hungarian baroque buildings being erected in place of the destroyed medieval ones.

Sopron, Main Square Tel.: 99-311-327 Monday-Sunday 10:00-18:00 July-August Sunday- Thursday 10.00-18.00, Friday and Saturday 10.00-20.00

Scarbantia Roman Forum

Scarbantia_Archaeological site in Sopron

Scarbantia’s Roman Forum is next to the main square and has been excavated deep below the lines of multi-storied houses all around it. The partially excavated Roman ruins in the very center of the city are part of what makes Sopron unique. They were only discovered in the 1980s although a few statues were found 300 years ago. Excavation of the Capitolium began in 1956.

At one time Scarbantia guarded the Roman road north to Italy and was designated by the Romans as a municipium. It was a city with a Capitolium, amphitheater, waterworks, and the Forum that you can see today.

It’s also possible to see some of the remains of the oval-shaped wall that was 3 meters thick and 8 meters high and had mighty gates and fortified towers between its lengths.

Liszt Ferenc Conference and Cultural Centre

Second, only to the Firewatch Tower in terms of importance to the city, the Ferenc Liszt Conference and Cultural Center was once the city’s Community House, dating from 1873. Unfortunately, one of the Rondelles of the old Castle wall was pulled down to make way for the building. It has been a casino and the site of many important balls and concerts.

It is one of the most photographed buildings in Sopron and has been renovated to now include an auditorium for 1200 people.

Plays and concerts are held at the Center as are lectures. There is a ticket office at the Center where you can buy tickets to see performances in two of Sopron’s theater venues including the Petőfi Theater but also other venues around the city such as the Cave Theater (and Quarry). There is a little public cafe on site where the theater’s performers hang out.

Address: 9400 Sopron, Liszt F. u. 1.

Bakery House Museum (Pékmúzeum)

From 1686 (the year that Sopron was destroyed by fire) until 1972, Bakery House was a working bakery. When the last baker died, the city purchased Bakery House ( a part of Negyedi bakehouse ). It purchased all the contents of the Bakery and it is now a museum that shows you what a bakery looked like in Middle Europe a few hundred years ago.

The bakery is in the west wing of the building. You will see a coat of arms above the entrance that depicts two lions breaking a piece of pretzel.

It is known as the Pékmúzeum and you can probably guess that Pék is the Hungarian word for bread! It is located within the old farmer’s district located outside the city’s walls as was common in this part of Europe from the medieval period.

It’s a fascinating area to stroll around. The main streets in the farmers and craftsmen district are Balfi, Bécsi, Fövényverem and Halász streets. It’s an easy stop on a one or two-day itinerary to central Sopron and is near the equally fascinating Poncichter district (see below).

Sopron, 5, Bécsi street Tel.:99-311-327 Open May-September: Tuesday-Sunday: 14.00-18.00, closed October to April. It can be visited by groups by booking in advance at [email protected]

Red wines and Buschenschank taverns

During the Roman occupation farmers in Sopron began cultivating wine grapes and producing both red and white wine.

According to stories from the winemakers, Napoleon’s soldiers who invaded Sorpon paid for their wine with a blue frank note, which the name of the most famous Hungarian wine Kékfrankos came from.

The red wines made from the Kékfrankos can be found internationally, but for a true Sopron experience, try a few different varieties in the unique Buschenschank taverns. They only exist in this part of Hungary.

They date back to the 17th century when winemakers would open their kitchens and courtyards to the public as licensed premises. Sopron winemakers didn’t store their wine out at the vineyards, they stored it in the city under their own homes!

The Buschenschank is similar to the Heuriger in eastern Austria. I find the newer Sopron region wines often have quite a rustic flavor, perfectly suited to the humble origins of the Buschenschank wine taverns.

Although famous for its red wine, Sopron does grow white grapes and in the communist era, both white and red wine were mass-produced. The area is becoming known for quality wines that match Austrian varieties but are much less expensive.

Poncichter District

The farmers who grow the grapes were masters at using all the available areas for growing crops and they began to grow beans among the vines. They were known as Poncichter (bean growers) and you can find Buschenschank or Poncichter wine taverns in the “Poncichter District” in Sopron. This is an area encompassing Balfi, Gazda, Szentlélek, and Szent Mihály Streets on the edge of the city center.

As in Austria, you will find an object like a wreath or a bottle or a ribbon outside the taverns or hung over the doorways to show that they are open.

Local cuisine

The planting of beans between the vines by the Poncichter has led to Sopron’s traditional cuisine incorporating many bean dishes from salads to main courses and even a sweet bean strudel. This must surely be one of the strangest effects of wine production upon cuisine!

Spiced cabbage is one of the Hungarian dishes that is commonly served in the Sopron area and usually meals are meat-heavy with substantial goulashes and stews. Both can be more like soups, and dumplings are often sliced and more bread than dumpling-like.

The local restaurants also serve Croatian favorites many of which include cabbage but also veal dishes and pasta surprisingly. Together these different traditions and histories combine to make this little corner of far-western Hungary a unique experience.

Street festivals, markets, the Christmas market, and street stalls sell popular Hungarian street foods such as Lángos . These deep-fried flatbreads are common in Sopron wherever there is street food available!

Female tourists are exploring Sopron Hungary old town

Visiting old cities and towns across Central Europe can make up for a lot of skipped history lessons. Each city has a marvelous story to tell. Once you find yourself in Hungary, head to the west to discover its hidden gem on the border with Austria – Sopron.

Is Sopron worth visiting? Yes! You will fall in love with its streets, landmarks, restaurants, and nature. Exploring this small city will help you learn more about Hungarian history, culture, and people.

Discover The History Of Sopron

If you are into history, then visiting a city such as Sopron is a must. The city itself originates from the 11th century. That was the time when the Hungarians strengthened ancient Roman walls to build a castle where Sopron is now. What’s more, the main square of the modern city of Sopron used to be a Roman forum.

If that isn’t enough to spark your interest, then the fact that the city was destroyed by fire in 1676 only to be rebuilt in a Baroque style might. However, the city wasn’t lucky enough to preserve the buildings since it was bombed several times during World War II.

Moreover, as a city that brought about the fall of the Iron Curtain and reestablished trade with Austria again, the government wanted to turn it into an industrial city. Thanks to its medieval landmarks that still stand strong to attract tourists, Sopron is becoming more and more popular.

Things To Do In The City Of Sopron

Situated at the foot of the Alps, Sopron is truly fascinating and has a lot to offer for every kind of traveler. Here, we bring you a list of things to do in Sopron so you can plan your trip more thoroughly.

Wander Around The Sopron’s Cobbled Streets

Is there anything better than walking around the intact medieval old town? Not many towns in Hungary have a well-preserved city center like Sopron does. Therefore, spend some time just wandering up and down the streets and admire the architecture. Renaissance and Baroque buildings with elegant decorations are everywhere to show the town’s rich history and prosperity.

Do you want to feel like you are in the Middle Ages? Then hesitate no more. Head to Sopron and enjoy walking down those picturesque, narrow streets. Don’t miss the statue of Saint Trinity that is located in the middle of the main square. This statue shows just how wonderful Hungarian Baroque art was.

No Visit To Sopron Is Complete Without Seeing The Fidelity Gate

Once you set foot in the Old Town of Sopron, you can’t miss the Fidelity Gate. Why is it called the Fidelity Gate though? What many people don’t know is that Sopron is considered to be the most faithful city in Hungary.

Sopron’s citizens had a chance to join Austria and accept Austrian citizenship after the First World War. However, in a referendum in 1921, they decided to remain a part of Hungary. Hence, the Fidelity Gate is a symbol of their love and respect towards Hungary.

Explore The 116 Steps Of The Fire Tower Lead You To A Breathtaking View

©Photo by Paul Asman and Jill Lenoble on Flickr

The Firewatch Tower is situated at the northern end of the main square of Sopron. A spiral staircase might not be fun, but the view is most certainly worth it. This 60-meter-high Firewatch Tower will let you enjoy the mesmerizing view of the hills as well as the inner town.

What’s more, a visit to the tower can be an interesting history lesson after all. Once you enter the tower, you will see all the information about the history of the Fire Tower and its shape, too. If you would like to explore more, you can always head to its basement. The underground hides the Roman gate and some parts of the medieval Sopron buildings. Finally, there is a wonderful café on the first floor that still gives you a great view through oversized windows. Stop by if you are in for a snack or a tasty lemonade.

Visit The Old Synagogue To Learn About Jewish Community

Built-in the 14th century, the Old Synagogue is a landmark you cannot miss out on in Sopron. Many towns in Hungary have beautiful synagogues and the one in Sopron is no exception.

The story behind its reconstruction is quite interesting as the synagogue was turned into private homes after the expulsion of the Jews from Sopron in 1526.

However, today, in the main room, you will find a medieval “holy of holies” with trees carved in stone as well as stunning stained-glass windows. What’s more, you can even see a reconstructed ritual bath called mikvah in the courtyard. Nowadays, the Old Synagogue is a museum known for its originality and simplicity.

The Goat Church – Don’t Let The Name Confuse You

Those of you who are fans of gothic architecture will be fascinated by this 13-century Goat Church . Located in the city center, this church has a nice story behind its unusual name. A goat was trying to dig something on the place and eventually, a goat herder found gold.

What’s more, the inside of the church is just as impressive as the outside. The paintings and fresco works are simply magical. Quiet, sacral music will make your visit even more unique.

However, do note that there are no guides to tell you the history of the church. However, you will easily find plaques at different points inside to tell you the history of different components. Additionally, you can always turn to a lady who sells candles and she will happily answer all your questions.

Head To The Storno House To Enjoy The Glamour

Getting history lessons everywhere you go is certainly one of the most popular things to do in Sopron. The glamorous Storno House, for example, was built in 1417 and has a very rich history.

Firstly, it was home to King Matthias. Secondly, it was a place where Franz Liszt played two of his concerts. Finally, the Swiss-Italian family of Ferenc Storno took over the house and turned it into a monument.

Nowadays, however, the first floor of the house represents a local history museum. If you want to see some antiques and an impressive art collection, then you shouldn’t miss the Storno House. The family was full of eager collectors and you will be fascinated by their living areas. Do note that you can’t take photos in the museum, so focus on exploring the area and memorizing all the little details.

Discover How The Romans Lived In The Fabricius House

Do you ever wonder what it was like to live in the Roman Empire? Sopron might as well be an ideal place to discover that. Head to the outstanding Fabricius House to explore some archaeological exhibitions of Celtic, Roman and Hungarian history.

On the other hand, if you want to see what a Roman bathhouse looked like, head to the basement. You will be amazed by the Roman statues of Juno, Jupiter, and Minerva. However, a huge Zeus stone statue will take your breath away.

Spend An Afternoon Lazing In Sopron’s Parks

If you ever get tired of wandering around this medieval town, you can find some peace and quiet in one of its numerous parks. Once you head south of the Old Town, you will come across several parks.

They are all in quiet areas so you can simply spend an afternoon relaxing in one of those beautiful parks. Read a book, enjoy the sun. Discover the statues and memorials of local figures.

Can’t Resist Shopping In Sopron

Even though Sopron is a small city, you can still indulge in a shopping spree in the Sopron Plaza. As the biggest complex in Sopron, this place serves as an entertainment center for families.

However, if you are more into modern shopping centers, then head to the Alpha Park. You can easily find everything you need here – from clothing stores to pharmacies to restaurants and cafes.

On the other hand, if you are looking for traditional Hungarian souvenirs, head to the porcelain store where you can get nice figurines and tableware.

Discover Food And Drinks In Sopron

What makes traveling to other countries great is the very opportunity to learn about the cuisine and culture at the same time. Sopron offers an array of restaurants and bars that will satisfy most of your cravings.

Please Your Sweet Tooth In The Harrer Chocolate Factory

Have you ever been to a chocolate factory? You simply can’t miss the Harrer Chocolate Factory when you visit Sopron. However, make sure you call them and book your chocolate tasting.

Can you just imagine trying twenty different types of chocolate? Eating fruit dipped in chocolate or simply having some hot chocolate? It sounds like heaven, right? Nice people in the Harrer Chocolate Factory will also show you a movie about chocolate-making. A complimentary glass of champagne will be much appreciated. Don’t worry though, children get a non-alcoholic one.

Keep in mind that the tour and tasting can be quite pricey. However, if you take into consideration that all chocolate is handmade and of great quality, the visit is worth every penny. What’s more, you can buy some amazing chocolate for your family and friends and bring one of the most original travel souvenirs back home.

Explore International Cuisines In Restaurants

Just like many other towns in Hungary, Sopron offers a wide range of restaurants for people who like to experiment with food. If you would like to try some authentic Hungarian meals, then you will be happy to hear that Sopron offers a lot of restaurants serving traditional dishes. Don’t miss the famous Hungarian goulash. However, be careful! It can be quite spicy.

You will find several Italian and Mediterranean restaurants all around the city. A unique atmosphere and casual elegance will make your meal even more special. Most of the restaurants have a nice, cozy, family atmosphere. Enjoy having a nice dinner in an outdoor garden after a long day of sightseeing.

A variety of restaurants serve grilled meat so head to one of those for a homey atmosphere and delicious food. On the other hand, if you are into Asian cuisine, you can always set out to one of the fast-food Chinese or Thai restaurants.

When In Sopron Drink Some Wine

Winegrowing in the Sopron area dates back to the Celts. Therefore, it’s no wonder it’s one of the oldest Hungarian wine-growing areas. A plethora of wine cellars and wine bars spread over Sopron and its region.

Visiting one of the Sopron’s wine cellars is a thrill for all wine enthusiasts. Do note that most wine bars and wine cellars serve their wine. You can spend an evening tasting wine, cold plates or some popular Hungarian dishes. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Feel free to ask if you could visit their vineyards. It can be an interesting trip too.

What’s more, getting a bottle of wine from the Sopron area might as well be a great present. Keep that in mind when you go souvenir shopping.

The Lover Kalandpark Sopron isn’t only a place that will make kids happy. This place is ideal for adults too. If you love spending time in nature then this park is a must-see.

You Everything-To-Know Guide To Sopron, Hungary

Doing a road trip in Central Europe, there’s a charming town on the way from Budapest to Vienna : Sopron. Okay, it’s a small detour from the highway, but a nice addition to your road trip. Dating back to the Roman times, Sopron fascinates with its history and pastel-colored old town (cobbled streets included!). It’s also a great base to explore the area, both the Hungarian and Austrian side of the border.

Ancient roots of Sopron

A long time ago in an empire far far away… well, actually in the Roman Empire, stood a city called Scarbantia . This city was the ancestor of today’s Sopron. Walls and foundations from the Roman Empire are still common in the city today, and they nicely blend together with the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque structures.

It’s worth walking along the ruins of the ancient city wall, we found the loveliest tiny streets and cafes this way. Not that finding lovely places is a hard task there. Sopron’s city center is full of pretty, cobblestone streets: Új Street, Kolostor Street, Templom Street , just to mention a few. Új Street means New Street in English, and in fact it’s one of the oldest streets of Sopron.

Best view of Sopron: Firewatch Tower

If there’s only one building you visit in Sopron that should be the old Firewatch Tower. It became the symbol of Sopron, and it offers the best panorama of the city center. Try to count the church towers from above, it’s fun. The Firewatch Tower is located on Fő tér (Main Square) that’s worth a visit, anyway. Sit out somewhere with an ice-cream and let it steal your heart. Orsolya Square and Petőfi Square are the other two highlights of the center.

Architecture highlights

Here’s a fun game for you to explore the most beautiful buildings in Sopron. I have a list about our favorites: churches, fountains, palaces. The task is simple: find all of them, and while you’re doing so you will see all the nicest parts of Sopron. Deal? So here it is:

Do you want to taste the best chocolate in Sopron?

A must-see (and must-taste) attraction for any chocolate addict is Harrer Chocolat , a family-owned chocolate factory in Sopron. They work with their secret traditional recipes, use natural ingredients, and their chocolate is just the best!

Are you the festival person?

Then there’s VOLT for you. Music festivals are not really our thing, but even people like us who never go to these festivals know about one of the most famous ones in Hungary: VOLT. It’s held in Sopron each year since 1993, and it has become more and more popular not just among Hungarians but also internationally.

The best day trips from Sopron

About an hour drive from Sopron, you find another pretty little town: Kőszeg, with its amazing Baroque historical center , and the lovely forest trails of Kőszeg Mountains . We like them the best in October when the seasonal forests are in their fall glory.

Esterházy Palace, Fertőd, Hungary

Our favorite castle in Hungary! It’s a colorful Rococo palace, sometimes called the Hungarian Versailles. Once the family nest of the Esterházy family, nowadays it’s operated by the government as Esterházy Castle Museum.

Its beautifully furnished and renovated rooms can only be visited on a guided tour – and this is a good thing! We were told a bunch of exciting stories about the history of the castle and the people who lived there. Guided tours are available in Hungarian, German or English. Though if you need a German or English tour, it’s a good idea to call them in advance, because foreign language tours are organized on an on-demand basis.

Esterházy Palace, Eisenstadt, Austria

Esterhazy Palace, Eisenstadt, Burgenland

Half an hour drive from Sopron lies the Austrian city of Eisenstadt, and its beautiful Baroque palace. Yes, another palace of the Esterházy noble family, constructed in the late 13 th century.

We visited its elegant, nicely furnished rooms on a guided tour, and our favorite place inside was Haydnsaal . This grand, gorgeous banquet room is a piece of artwork in itself. It got its name after the famous composer Joseph Haydn, who worked for about 40 years in the service of the Esterházy family. Haydnsaal is used as a concert hall from time to time today – and it’s said to be one of the most beautiful and acoustically perfect concert halls in the world.

Esterhazy Palace has a lovely garden with large trees, flowers and ponds. It’s free to take a walk there.

More day trips from Sopron

We’ve already told you about the day trips we’ve done, but this area offers much more. It’s rich both in natural and cultural attractions (lots of castles and ruins!), and here are even more options we’re yet to explore there: Széchenyi Castle in Nagycenk, Burg Forchtenstein, Burg Lockenhaus, Burgruine Landsee and Lake Neusiedl – Seewinkel National Park in Austria .

Hiking Schneeberg or Hochwechsel in Austria might be worth more than a day trip, but they’re also about 1.5-2 hours drive from Sopron.

Some final useful info

Sopron is 2.5 hours drive from Budapest and about 3 hours by train. The city center is small, and it’s easy to explore everything on foot.

How much time do you need to see Sopron? If you’re in a hurry, you can leave from Budapest in the morning, arrive in Vienna in the evening, and see Sopron during the day. If you’d like to have a comfortable pace, give it a weekend. And, of course, add more days if you’d like to take day trips.

So, which of these places look tempting to you?

The World by "Siege"

Wandering in the Old Town of Sopron, Hungary

Disclosure: This post (probably) contains affiliate links. If you click on one, I may make a small commission. Of course, this will come at no extra cost to you and helps keep this site running.

During my frequent stops in Vienna, I became increasingly curious about visiting the close border towns of Hungary like Kőszeg and Sopron . While both are perfectly manageable day trips from Vienna , I simply never got around to them while I was there. So when I decided to spend some time in Hungary, Sopron made for a natural first stop on my visit to Hungary .

The city of Sopron sits at the closest border crossing to Vienna between Austria and Hungary. This has led to it becoming quite popular with Viennese locals popping over to shop and get cheap dental work. However, that’s not all visiting Sopron is about. At the centre of Sopron is a precious little old town, full of elegant buildings and intriguing history. Allow me to share with you what to do in Sopron, this grand little city only a stone’s throw from Vienna.

How to get to Sopron

Because of how close it is to the Austrian border, you’re most likely visiting Sopron from Vienna. If you have a car or are renting a car , the drive is straightforward and takes around an hour. Simply head for Eisenstadt and then keep going to the border.

Alternatively, with public transport, you can take a direct train to Sopron from Vienna Hauptbahnhof. Trains run every two hours and the trip takes about 80 minutes. It’s so easy to get to Sopron from Vienna that you can visit on a day trip from Vienna without much stress.

Where to Stay in Sopron

If you don’t decide to make a day trip to Sopron and choose to stay the night, there are a surprising number of places for you to stay . I opted for the Vadászkürt Panzió és Étterem , an affordable combined guesthouse and restaurant that was pleasant and welcoming.

Despite being a little way out from the old town on the opposite side of the train line, the rooms there were spacious and had a lodge look to them. In the end, I also decided to eat there and enjoyed the local cuisine they offered. They even prepared me a cherry strudel with cherries from their trees.

Things to do in Sopron

Sopron Old Town is where you’ll want to focus your attention. That’s where you’ll see the city’s beautiful architecture and informative museums. If you have more time in Sopron, consider heading into the hills to see Taródi vár castle and Károly-kilátó observation deck, two spots I missed on my visit.

Main Square

Let’s start in the very centre of Sopron and work our way out. At the northern end of Sopron’s Old Town lies the European staple, the Main Square . They’re usually a good place to start, right?

Sopron’s certainly is. Around the sides of the Main Square, visitors are treated to some wonderfully elegant buildings. There’s the stately City Hall, another government building opposite and plenty of well-preserved homes.

The square centres on a detailed and graceful trinity column, often found in old towns of Central Europe. Also known as “plague pillars” they were built to honour the end of the plague affecting the city.

Then there’s the Goat Church . Yes, that’s not a typo.

Seen below to the left of the column, the Church of the Assumption (the actual name) has quite the origin story. According to local legend, a local goat herder uncovered a treasure on the site of the church, which led to the building of the church on that spot. There’s even a goat with pride of place on the previously mentioned Trinity Column.

The most iconic landmark for the city of Sopron is the city’s Fire Tower . A symbol of the city, the tower and its gate dates back to the 13th century when it functioned as the northern entrance into the town.

Back in the day, it served as a watchtower, alerting the city to fires, invaders and most importantly wine caravans. It underwent a Baroque redesign in the 16th century and reminds me quite a bit of Michael’s Gate in Bratislava .

The tower received a major restoration in 2011/2012, which also included the reopening of the city gate below. A sculpture adorning the gateway was also renovated with its scene of Sopron locals paying homage to Hungaria , a personification of the Hungarian nation.

Of course, the big reason to visit the Fire Tower is for its views across the city. Once at the observation deck, visitors are treated to all sorts of views of the city. Not only do you get to look down on the main square and old town, but you can appreciate the surrounding neighbourhoods and look back towards the Austrian border.

Entry to the tower costs 1150ft from the tourist information centre ( as of 2017 ).

Storno House

One of the more glamorous buildings in the city’s Main Square is the Storno House . Today this house hosts a museum that combines the beautiful interior of the Storno family, with their impressive art collection and the history of Sopron as well.

While the exterior of the medieval house predates him, artist Ferenc Storno renovated the interior when he bought the house in the 1870s. A travelling artist and former chimney sweep, he eventually moved to Sopron for work. The beautiful family home now sits as an example of homes from that era but as a gallery for their impressive collection.

A highlight of visiting is the family art collection displayed in the family’s old living quarters. I’m not usually one for tours of bedrooms, kitchens etc. but the art and design of the rooms intrigued me. I particularly liked all the German sayings that lined with ceiling of one room. They included “ Travel is a beautiful thing but there is a lot of mischief ” and “ Calm blood always good ” which rhymes in German.

The museum also reveals Sopron’s interesting history, from never falling to the Ottomans to its musical pedigree which featured the likes of Haydn and Liszt. Entry to the museum costs 1000ft for adults ( all prices as of July 2017 ). Sadly you can’t take photos for free inside the museum, hence their absence here.

Sopron Town Walls

While only sections remain now, Sopron was for a long time a walled city. The medieval town walls seen today were built over the remnants of ancient Roman walls.

The city was defended by several rings of walls with ramparts, battlements and intermediate towers. Over time sections of the walls became submerged and hidden by houses and urban growth. It was only because of damage sustained by bombing in WWII that the original middle wall was uncovered.

Today you can walk along sections of the walls on the Bailey Promenade . The path that passes between houses and the walls is dotted with information boards that detail the history and design of the city’s old fortifications.

Old Town Streets

Away from the main square, the rest of the old town is mostly a series of typical old cobbled streets. This means it’s the perfect place for my favourite thing – wandering.

Unfortunately for me, my visit coincided with significant roadworks going on in the Old Town. This meant some streets were blocked off and one of the main squares. Still, the ones that were free from construction showed me just what Sopron has to offer.

One of the more striking buildings you can come across away from the main square is the Cezar Pince . Looking a bit worse for wear because of the local roadworks, the building’s shape and facade are quite special even in this state. Inside you’ll find an elegant tavern, one of the city’s better-rated restaurants.

Arcades and Courtyards

One of the interesting holdovers from the medieval period is the number of arcades and courtyards found scattered about the old town. Here and there you’ll notice a small arcade cutting through residential buildings. My first time finding the main square was after wandering through a series of arcades to avoid the roadworks.

Heading south away from the Old Town, you’ll come across a series of parks. Firstly there’s the one in Széchenyi Square , lined with some beautiful public buildings. Further on as you near the train station, you come across Deák Square seen above. A quiet residential area, it’s another nice green spot surrounded by central European architecture.

Throughout the parks, you’ll of course come across statues and memorials to local figures and events. One particularly expressive memorial is the above one to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Stuck under a Soviet-backed government, the people revolted for over 2 weeks near the end of 1956. Sadly it led to a fierce reprisal and 2,500 civilian deaths.

Travel Tips for Visiting Sopron

While you can pay for entrance to individual attractions like the Fire Tower and Soproni Museum, museum passes are also available. There is a pass for the above two spots for 2500ft or a pass for any 5 of the city’s attractions for 4000ft. Details and current prices can be found here .

Like the MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys are our most outstanding hotels.
