Hungary's sunniest city of Ottoman and Roman layers
Pécs claims to be Hungary's sunniest city, a southern metropolis with Austro-Hungarian elegance and layers of Ottoman history (four minarets still stand from its 150-year occupation). The Mecsek Mountains provide backdrop, while the city center—Széchenyi Square—radiates Mediterranean warmth unusual for the region. This is where Central Europe slides toward the Balkans, and the culture shifts palpably.
