This huge abbey is located on a hill outside of Györ, on the road between Vienna and Budapest. It's one of Hungary's most famous attractions, and it was swarming with tourists when I visited on a beautiful August day. It occupies an important in Hungarian history and culture, and I enjoyed visiting its historic parts, especially the library. Pannonhalma is probably not the most impressive abbey/monastery I have seen, but it is still definitely worth a visit. There are occasional buses from Györ to the abbey (and some more to the village below), but as we went there on a Sunday, we opted for a taxi instead. Most visitors seem to be on organized bus tours, as there is a huge car park next to the visitor centre that was full with coaches from all over Europe.
