It might seem far from the city, but we walked from the center in about an hour and a half, with breaks for a pint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These were the most interesting attractions in P\u00e9cs. Since the city doesn&#8217;t have thermal baths, and there&#8217;s not much to do for more than 1-2 days, tourists often head to neighboring equally cool cities. Also, not far from P\u00e9cs, there&#8217;s a wine village with cellars and private wineries in Vill\u00e1ny. Here are some articles you might find interesting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The main resort in Hungary &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/lake-balaton\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1375\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lake Balaton<\/a>, a review of beaches and places to stay.

There isn&#8217;t a detailed report about this place on the website yet, but there&#8217;s a mini-review in the article: What to See in Hungary Beyond Budapest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion: if you&#8217;ve rented a car in Hungary and are thinking of where to go, P\u00e9cs is a great option for 1-2 days. Enjoy delicious food, take a stroll in the city center, go hiking in the Tettye hill, and then head further to Lake Balaton or Szeged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT: Below are useful links that will help organize your trip to Hungary and Budapest:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#f9f9fe\" class=\"wp-block-list has-background\">\n<li><strong>Tours and excursions:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/viator.tp.st\/oxrq9MSy\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/viator.tp.st\/oxrq9MSy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Viator<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/getyourguide.tp.st\/qMdO9yko\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/getyourguide.tp.st\/qMdO9yko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GetYourGuide<\/a> &#8211; the best services for finding tours in Budapest and Hungary with the largest database of activities in Hungary.
