Sizzling Europe

A city in Hungary near the Austrian border, Sopron has been inhabited since the ancient times. It was in the year 1676 when the city was destroyed by fire but in the few decades, wonderful Baroque buildings were then made.

Its economy benefits from the European Union and it has reestablished full trade relations to nearby Austria. Sopron is said to have an important wine producing region and is one of the few cities in the country to make both red and white wines. Their grapes include Kekfrankos for the red wine and Traminer for the white wine.

The town’s architecture reflects its long history where walls and foundations from the Roman empire are said to be common together with Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque structures. These are usually decorated which shows centuries of stability and prosperity. There is also an old synagogue and other remains coming from the former Jewish community of the town which was said to have expelled during the 16^th century.
