Why you're safe with the holiday experts

DERTOUR is part of the DERTOUR GmbH group of Frankfurt - one of the world's leading tour operators . We also hold our own ATOL and are members of ABTA.

We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years. A lot has changed in that time, but one thing that has always remained the same is our total focus on serving you in the very best way that we can. This includes ensuring your satisfaction and security. It's why DERTOUR is fully licenced with our own ATOL and is also adheres to all the rules and principles of ABTA.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority. This protects you from losing your money or from being stranded overseas in the very unlikely event that DERTOUR should go out of business. Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

ABTA was created in 1950 by 22 leading travel companies. It now represents over 5,000 travel agencies and more than 900 tour operators, right across the British Isles. ABTA helps to maintain the highest standards of trading practice for the travel industry and its customers. The ABTA logo is a sign that you can expect choice, value and high levels of service from DERTOUR.

DERTOUR is also fully committed to always try to provide an alternative holiday or route in times of disruption that is out of our control, such as in the event of volcanic ash, disruption to air travel due to heavy snowfall or an airline strike grounding aircraft.

Destinations » Hungary » Gyor

"The town of rivers", or Arrabona, as the Romans called it, is a nearly 1000-year-old bishopric where Napoleon won a battle in 1809. Gyor is famous for its schools and industry. It has a nice downtown and it is liked because of its baroque buildings.
The ancient "heart" of the town is at the junction of three rivers - the Danube, Raba and Rabca - at Kaptalan Hill. Puspokvar (Kaptalan Domb 5/a.), the residence of the bishops of Gyor, can be easily recognised by the Csonka Tower. Its oldest buildings are 'Lakotorony', built in the 13th century, and the Gothic 'Doczy Chapel', built in the 15th century.
The Roman Era predecessor of the Bishop's Cathedral already stood at the site in 1030. The Gothic Saint Laszlo Chapel (Hedervary Chapel), added 400 years later, was built for the canonisation of King Laszlo I (1077-95). This chapel contains the masterpiece of Medieval Hungarian goldsmith's work, the Saint Laszlo Herma, a gilded silver masterpiece.

Many shops are spread around the city of Gyor and the historic Inner Town area of Belváros, offering an array of gift ideas and Hungarian souvenirs.  The main shopping precinct in Gyor lies in the very heart of the city centre and off the Svent Itsván Utca, being conveniently close to many of the largest and most popular hotels.

Close by, the Arkád Shopping Centre is just a short walk to the east and can be found on the Budai Utca, close to the Galántai Utca and the Mártirok Utca.

A city of reasonable size and stature, Gyor is home to plenty of restaurants to suit most travellers. Whilst it is true to say that many of the city's restaurants and other dining options do specialise in Hungarian cuisine, others provide a more international flavour, with French-style eateries and Italian pizzerias being firm favourites with tourists.

Wherever you choose to eat in Gyor, all restaurants have one thing in common, they certainly fed you well. You can expect filling, man-size portions when dining out here, leaving little room for a pudding.

Gyõr, this mellow and colourful town is situated half way between Vienna and Budapest, and hosts a vast array of architectural, cultural and natural treasures.

 

Gyõr, Hungary's second richest town in historic buildings outside Budapest has won Europe-award for the protection of the historic buildings, in acknowledgment of the reconstruction of the Baroque centre of the town. Churches, palaces, museums, characteristic corner-balconies and narrow lanes, all reminders of a historic past, invite visitors to take a walk in the centre of the town.
