It is a Palace of the noble family Eszterhazy. It is beautifully located in the small town of Fertöd surrounded by a very well kept park. There are guided tours in English and German and a little train is running around the garden if it is too hot to walk.

The Storno house is located in the main square of Sopron. It has two floors with many rooms where you can see a lot of artefacts that Ferenc Storno, the chimney-sweeper had collected during his life. Definitely worth visiting!

Spent a few hours in and around the Archabbey. After parking we took an elevator, the ladies at the desk greeted us very friendly - the toilets here were clean and modern, as the whole entrance area - and walked over the ‘green bridge’ to the abbey. We took another elevator and enjoyed the spectacular view over the whole region and the façade of the abbey with it’s beautiful historical mosaic. I could had spent hours there contemplating the history and actuality of this place. Inside the abbey church there’s many things to see, from the crypt to the high altar, the art and even the modern choir stalls were nicely made, which I can’t often say of modern ecclesiastical furniture. The library is stunning ! The audio guide was easy to follow and provided more informations if requested. Our visit was completed with an invitation from the Archabbot emeritus to have lunch with the monks in the refectory and coffee in his private cell, a great surprise ! The Fathers were all very kind, I was sat next to an older monk who excused himself for not speaking any other language than Hungarian but made sure I felt at home and I had everything I needed - as everywhere in the Benedictine world. I would certainly recommend coming here!

This is a place we'd never heard of before stumbling upon it, and were glad we did. It's a town with a long history, with a historic centre being testament to that. It's a lovely area to wander around and soak up history, at the confluence of 2 small rivers, offshoots of the Danube. Tourists seem to be starting to trickle in but it feels far less commercial than some other towns in the region. We visited in the summer when it was nice to also sit out and eat or have a coffee. We're also just been this month before Christmas and enjoyed the Christmas markets around the town, including the open air ice rink by the river. There were a number of nice touches, such as faux reindeer and Santa's sleigh for the kids to sit on, and free games for the kids to play in the main square. There's a big ferris wheel by the river too though it was slightly pricey for the whole family so we enjoyed it from the bottom.
6. Pannonhalma Abbey Gardens and Herbal Lavender House

Just like the Archabbey, the gardens are also permeated with serenity and calmness, its vast lavender and herb field fills the air with scents that can be just hardly found in daily life. Go there for a relaxing walk, a special olfactory experience, enjoy the scenery and the exotic flora that evokes an unearthly place out of our time. Go there respecting the plants, touching them is strictly prohibited. The lavender field ends with a tea house where you can enjoy drinks made with local herbs and you can also take your choice of plant home, for a small fee.

We love walking around old town Sopron. Highly recommend going up in the Fire Tower, visiting the various churches, eating the local food, going into the grocery on the ring around the Old Town, seeing the old Roman Ruins, going in Dec. so you can see the Christmas Market. It's all fun and interesting, like stepping back in time.
