According to Hungarians, Pécs is the city with the most unique atmosphere in the country. Here in Pécs, we are proud of our UNESCO Cultural World Heritage from Romain times; our buildings originating from the Turkish era; Hungary’s first and even today largest university; our houses ornamented with precious building ceramics by Zsolnay Porcelain Factory; and those more than 300 contemporary artists who live and work in our city. We are loving our ’home hill’, the Mecsek, that we owe our Sub-Mediterranean climate and our remarkable wines to. We take a special pleasure in walking along the narrow alleys of the inner city, and drinking a cup of coffee or wine with our friends on romantic squares and terraces, and it would be a great pleasure to share all those fantastic programmes that make Pécs the Capital of Europe 2010, with you!
