Pecs Cathedral

One of the most treasured medieval monuments was founded by King Stephen I in the 11th century.

Reviewed By Explore809648 - Freckleton, United Kingdom

Most unusual Cathedral we've ever seen. Huge building project around it which is part of the local University. Very tastefully done and the re-housing of the statues of the Apostles is quite stunning. The interior of the Cathedral is undergoing a quite magnificent restoration of the walls which is breath-taking. The Cathedral organ looks and sounds stunning. Do not miss this wonderful place.

Early Christian Mausoleum

Sopianae, predecessor of Pécs in the Roman times had its late Roman Paleochristian cemetery included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in the year 2000. In their architecture and wall-paintings the excavated finds present the Early Christian burial architecture and art of the Northern and Western provinces of the Roman Empire. From among the Hungarian world heritage sites the Early Christian cemetery is the only one that has won itself a place on the UNESCO world heritage list in the category of culture-historical architecture.

It is hard to find educational places to take your kids to where they would learn something in a non-boring manner. This place really keeps them engaged because it is like a maze they can explore. It is also a great activity to do on a cold, rainy/snowy day. Those are, as well, few and far between if you are not visiting Budapest.

Zsolnay Cultural Quarter

Reviewed By c_m_1212 - Tutzing, Germany

I had the opportunity to experience a jazz concert in the courtyard of the cultural quarter. Very well organized, impressive ambiance, entrance fee, and drink prices very pleasant. A place worth seeing even without an event.
