Sopron is a small city right on the border between Hungary and Austria. All of the local inhabitants are bi-lingual and some of the street and building names are in German. A serviced apartment in Sopron is ideal if you like to travel around a lot when you are on your holiday. The railway line which serves the town is not the main line, but the trains run hourly and you can be in Vienna in an hour.

The history of the city is a long one and there are buildings from all eras to see, right back to Roman ruins. Staying in a Sopron holiday rental you are in the heart of the best amber fields in the Baltic and the town sprang up as a main stopping point on the Amber Road, the main trading route between Venice and St Petersburg. Amber is still a main product in the souvenir shops and makes an excellent gift to take home from your city centre (center) apartment stay in Sopron.

Another good souvenir to take home is some of the local wine. Sopron is one of the very few areas in Hungary where both red and white wine is produced and you will find both served in the restaurants and bars in town. While staying in a Sopron apartment rental you will find plenty of choice in places to eat and drink and the restaurants offer all kinds of different food, not just Hungarian but also Viennese. You can get pasta and burgers of course, but you must try some of the local dishes, which are likely to be fairly spicy as paprika is used a lot. Goulash (spelt ‘gulyas’ on the menu) is a must as it is the signature dish of Hungary and you can’t go home from a holiday let in Sopron without having some.

An aparthotel in Sopron, no matter whereabouts it is, will give you access to all of the lovely buildings in the town, because it isn’t very large and is easy to walk around. To stop yourself from getting lost, the five hundred foot high TV tower, called the Raketa, the Hungarian for rocket, will always act as your landmark back to your Sopron self-catered apartment or serviced flat. At the completely opposite end of the historical spectrum, on your walk through Sopron to your holiday apartment, you will pass Roman foundations clearly visible at the base of more recent walls. 

Serviced and self-catered apartments, flats, holiday lets and aparthotels can be up to 30% cheaper than most equivalent hotel rooms and are becoming increasingly popular due to the freedom they offer. Whether it’s a short stay apartment you are looking for or a long term apartment, our holiday apartments combine all the amenities and comforts of home. With plenty of room why stay in a cramped hotel room when you can stay in spacious surroundings in and around Sopron city centre.
