City walk in Pécs - The thousand faces of Pécs

A walk around Pécs is like a journey through time, as the beautiful city centre is a journey through almost two millennia of history. Yet extremes and differences have been forged into harmony here, shaping the diverse face of Pécs today. Walking through the charming, narrow streets and squares, you can relive the Roman and Turkish periods as well as the heyday of the 19th century.

On your walk you will discover how a Turkish mosque became a Catholic church, why the city was protected by a double fortress wall, or what the red-light houses have to do with the post office and the Jewish community.

The programme will take a look at Pécs' most famous buildings, tell you about the city's most influential figures and tell you about the history of the city from Roman times to modern times.
