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!

Sopron Museum - Old Synagogue

Seasonal opening - please check website

Reviewed By AlanEatZ - Arlington, United States

The Old Synagogue is an interesting place to visit. The synagogue was built in the 12th century during the Roman period. The Jewish community was forced out of the city in the 1500s. And, the synagogue was not rediscovered until 1967. There is not a lot of material or artifacts in the synagogue. There is a 6 page history that is interesting to read. If you visit, talk to the woman that curates the museum. She spoke to us for an hour telling us the story and explaining everything. She was amazing!

Lookout Tower Karoly

Reviewed By johannesfa - Alvsjo, Sweden

Three generations went up to the look-out, in total 11 people between 8 months and 67 years. We all enjoyed it a lot. The parking is at the Adventure Park (also well worth a visit), and then there is a 900 meter walk to the tower. On the way there, there are several stops along the way with tasks for kids to fulfill. You can get a paper to collect stamps in the beginning of it, and if you do all of them, you can get a gift. These tasks are suitable for kids between 2 and 9 years old. At the tower, there is a cafe a small museum and a pretty big playground. The kids liked it a lot. It costs 400 forint for adults and 300 forint for kids to get up to the top of the tower. It is worth getting up, since the view is amazing! You can see all around the surrounding areas of Sopron.

Sopron Old Town

Reviewed By RebeccaUofI

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.
