Sopron is situated next to the western borders of Hungary at the foot of the Alps and is one of the oldest gems of the country. Sopron merges past and present in itself. It creates a bridge between Hungary and its western neighbours, opening a gate for foreign guests visiting Hungary, as it is symbolized by the coat of arms of the city. The inhabitants of the city are known for their hospitality and loyalty to their hometown. The curative and refreshing air of the natural environment, the hiking
routes of the neighboring Lővérek, the view-points, the mountain springs and the proximity of Lake Fertő make Sopron one of the most beautiful and pleasant holiday resorts of Hungary.
