About Püspökvár
The Püspökvár occupies the northwest side of Káptalandomb, near the cathedral. The complex remains linked to the residence of the bishop of Győr. The tower with a truncated top and the stone sections help identify its origin and transformations over time.
The viewpoint allows you to observe the center, the meeting of the rivers and the Radó area, while other routes present rooms of the residence and its history. These experiences should not be confused: climbing the tower and visiting the interiors are organized separately.
For areas that require accompaniment, book in advance on the official website. The tower involves stairs, and circulation should be chosen according to the group's layout. After the visit, walking along the nearby banks helps compare the view from above with the scale of the city by the water.
