Pecs which is pronounced as Paych is the fifth largest city in Hungry, close to the border of Croatia. The city is full of life and rich in history. The interesting past is obvious in the main square where Gazi Kasim Mosque stands still. Pecs is the richest town in Hungary in terms of architecture where the city displays Turkish designs and buildings. This includes the notable Memi Pasa’s Baths and the mausoleum of miracle worker Idris Baba.

There are several daily trains connecting Pécs to the capital Budapest as well as a daily direct train to Vienna and direct train to Osijek and Sarajevo.
