The town offers unique sights, such as rare and precious monuments surviving from the Turkish era, including mosques and slender minarets and descend to ancient Christian burial tombs declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
As Pécs is the city of art and culture you can choose from an eclectic array of fascinating exhibitions ranged along the city’s ‘street of museums’, and browsing exquisite Zsolnay ceramics, wonder at the vast and grandiose paintings of Csontváry, and be dazzled by the playful patterns of ‘Op Artist’ Vasarely.
