    A short stop at Veszprém during our trip. A very nice discovery while walking to the old town - centre. Nice walk between the buildings baroque palace, Museum, Church and other. To finish with a great view! t

    Very nice, and the Trinity Square, and St. Michael's Basilica is restored! Who wants to stroll on a little more, you can go to Jeruzsálemhegyre, and from there it is just a few lépsnyire there are plenty of dining options.
