Went by train to spend the day in Sopron and we were t disappointed. Lovely old buildings narrow cobbled streets , beautiful churches . We went in December and only a few locals around ! The square was decorated for Christmas and a huge Christmas tree,. Very cold but so glad we visited, only E42 return for the four of us ! Took about 80 minutes but saw some amazing scenery and sights.

Not much more I can add that the other reviewers have covered so I will try to add some useful info. The old town area is about a 10 min walk from the train station. As you go out the main entrance there is a main road a bit to the left. Get on in and keep waking until you get there. You will pass some interesting churches on the way. There are not a lot of public wc but don't fret, just go into any restaurant (there are many) and ask, they are very accommodating but may ask you to pay. The walk up to the top of the watchtower is worth is if you can handle the stairs. Surprisingly not much shopping to be done. Equally surprising is the Roman ruins which I did not expect to find among the medieval ruins. Just talk the time to wander, the area is not huge but well preserved. I took this side trip as a day trip from Vienna and it was well worth it. Train cost about $16r/t and took about 90 minutes (direct from Veinna no change of trains) with excellent views of the Austrian country side (Sopron is just across the border in Hungary) as well as Austrian wine country. Note: we had a difficult time finding anyone who accepted Euros as Hungary has their own currency but had no problem using plastic. If you found this review helpful please hit the helpful button.

Just across the border from Austria, a great destination. Old town getting quite a bit of restoration but the 'crumbly' sections were just as interesting. Easy to navigate. If you are lucky like we were you may encounter some local dancing, food stalls and wines in the square. Glad we decided to hop across from Austria for a few days.

While many of these small mid-European towns are starting to look similar, this town has a particular charm. Our main reason for staying here was as a base to drive to Vienna, so we were pleasantly surprised at the bonus of finding something interesting to do here. The old town, now surrounded by a major thoroughfare rather than a wall, is very compact and flat. You can see virtually all the attractions on TripAdvisor at a brisk walk in an hour or so. This includes some old Roman walls. DO wear shoes suitable for cobblestones, and do remember just about everything will be closed on Sunday. The people at the Info kiosk speak great English.

We enjoyed strolling around the old town and due to the rain perhaps, we had the entire town to ourselves.
Quite enjoyable!

Well remained medieval town, interesting to look - but it is absolutely empty. No active attractions, no non-hungarian information. Several museums - don't know what were inside.
Navigator leads to town center, but impossible to return - road is closed, not available any information on English.

Sopron historical center is must see if you are biking around Neusiedler sea.
Narrow streets, nice churches, marvelous squares,beauty pedestrian zone,lot of local pubs when you can absorb and enjoy the town spirit.
Nice cycling trail for Fertorakos to Sopron (for those bikers who stays overnight there)

I always enjoy visiting Sopron, one of the most beautiful towns in Hungary. There is so much to discover in the downtown that seems to be a labyrinth of nice little streets with medieval historical buildings, with the Fire Tower, the Goat Church and lots of ancient ruins. Don't miss this visit, you'll enjoy it for sure!

a quiet town but with enough history and shops to happily spend a day. ancient towers lie next to old squares and buildings. plenty of places to eat. try the fun traditional Hungarian soup with a baked bread lid.

Does the tourist train operate on Sundays in October? Where does one get on the train?
