Győr-Moson-Sopron County
Sopron
Sopron has repeatedly lived with borders rather than merely beside one. Explore Roman Scarbantia under the modern centre, Gothic and Jewish remains, unusually early heritage protection, the 1921 referendum that kept the city in Hungary, and the 1989 Pan-European Picnic that helped make the Iron Curtain physically porous.
