Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.

Check before booking. Trains link Sopron to the Hungarian and Austrian networks. From the station, walk to the center or use local public transport; buses serve some regional routes.

How many days

Three days allow for the town center, Fertőrákos and one sector of the park. For Fertőd Palace, add another day or reorganize one of the excursions.

When to go

April to June and September to October usually bring mild weather. July and August can be hot; December to February is typically cold with short days, affecting viewpoints and wetland areas.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

Skip using a car in the historic core. A car makes regional excursions easier, but train and bus allow you to plan more focused stages.
